title: Presumed endocarditis caused by BRO beta-lactamase-producing Moraxella lacunata in an infant with Fallot's tetrad.
abstract: A case of presumed endocarditis caused by Moraxella lacunata in a 15-month-old male infant with Fallot's tetrad is described. This infection may have occurred as the result of transmission of this organism between the father and his son. This is the first report of BRO beta-lactamase-producing M. lacunata causing presumed endocarditis.
