Case of triple endocarditis caused by Rothia dentocariosa and results of a survey in France.
This is the first case of endocarditis in which Rothia dentocariosa was cultured from three affected valves. In addition, the records of two microbiology laboratories in France showed that R. dentocariosa was rarely involved in severe infection and that positive blood cultures were not associated with endocarditis.
