摘要：

Lactobacilli are Gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria that inhabit the oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, vagina and nasal cavity In this report, a rare case of Lactobacillus Jensenii endocarditis in a 47-year-old immunocompetent patient is described. Blood cultures and a replaced mitral valve were positive for L Jensenii as assessed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing Based on susceptibility tests the patient was successfully treated with a mixture of teicoplanin and meropenem antimicrobial therapy
