In contrast to the patients in five previously published cases, our patient had neither a congenital bicuspid nor a prosthetic aortic valve. Here, we present a case of C. valvarum native tricuspid aortic valve infective endocarditis and a review of the literature. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.012948-0
