Infective endocarditis with aortic root abscess secondary to Aerococcus Urinae sepsis

Aerococcus urinae is a gram-positive, catalase-negative bacterium first isolated in 1953 from samples of air and dust of occupied room of unknown clinical significance Later, the species was revealed as a causative organism with urinary tract infection in the 1990s. More recently, A. urinae has also been shown to cause invasive infections such as bacteremia and infective endocarditis (IE), more commonly in aortic valve, but mitral and tricuspid valve IEs have also been reported. We describe a case of a middle aged male who presented with A. urinae urosepsis complicated by aortic valve endocarditis, resulting in complete heart block and multi-territory strokes secondary to septic emboli.
