Case of indolent endocarditis due to Pseudomonas stutzeri with genetic evidence of relapse after 4 years.
Pseudomonas stutzeri, a gram-negative bacterium, is a common inhabitant of soil and water. We report an unusual case of a relapse of infective endocarditis due to P. stutzeri 4 years after the initial episode. The identity of the strains was proven by genomic analysis.
