title: [Corynebacterium G-1 infection: description of a case of endocarditis].
abstract: Here we report a case of Corynebacterium G1 group endocarditis following acute bpn in non immunodeficient host. The bacterial strain was isolated from the surgically removed heart valve. To our knowledge this is the first report of such an isolate. Recently recurrent peritonitis in CAPD were also ascribed to the same agent.
