Abstract

Lactococcus garvieae bloodstream infection in a woman in Germany resulted in spondylodiscitis and bioprosthetic mitral valve endocarditis. Six weeks of ceftriaxone followed by 10 days of doxycycline led to sustained clinical and microbiological resolution. This case highlights the need for thorough diagnostic testing and individualized, shared decision-making in infective endocarditis cases.
