Pseudomonas mendocina, an environmental bacterium isolated from a patient with human infective endocarditis.
Pseudomonas mendocina has been isolated from soil and water samples. Although it has been recovered from some human clinical samples, its pathogenic role has not yet been documented. We report the first known case of endocarditis in humans due to P. mendocina.
