Endocarditis Free

Abstract

SUMMARY

The isolation of from two patients with bacterial endocarditis is reported, and the clinical features are described.

These strains of produced small, shiny, convex colonies visible within a week on first isolation. After further subcultures, colonies were visible within 2 days. Isolation was achieved on blood or chocolate media with added CO. When examined later the strains did not require CO, but growth was improved by moisture.

They gave a positive oxidase reaction and produced indole, but did not produce catalase or reduce nitrates; this pattern of reactions should serve to distinguish them from strains of and .
