title: Endocarditis caused by Kingella indologenes.
abstract: The first known case of endocarditis caused by Kingella indologenes is reported. A review of the literature reveals only seven cases of endocarditis caused by the other two species of the genus Kingella (Kingella kingae, six cases; Kingella denitrificens, one case). Kingella organisms appear to be sensitive to a wide variety of antimicrobial agents. The available data suggest that endocarditis caused by Kingella species occurs rarely and is associated with a benign clinical course.
