title: [Endocarditis from Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae].
abstract: Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae only seldom causes cases of endocarditis. Contact with infectious animals leads to endocarditis of the left heart with high lethality. Vancomycin and aminoglycosides, which are often used in gram-positive endocarditis, show no effect.
