Abiotrophia defectiva (A.defectiva), eskiden nutrisyonel varyant
streptokoklar olarak isimlendirilen, günümüzde Abiotrophia cinsi içinde
sınıflandırılan, katalaz negatif, Gram pozitif koklardır. A.defectiva’nın
üremesi için besiyerinde pridoksin ve L-sistein gibi bazı nutrisyonel maddelere
gereksinim vardır, bu nedenle rutin besiyerlerinde üretilemez. A. defectiva’ya
bağlı olarak enfektif endokardit gelişimi oldukça nadirdir. Bu yazıda, septik
emboli ve akut koroner sendrom ile birlikte A. defectiva’ya bağlı olarak enfektif endokardit gelişen, mitral kapak
replasmanı ve antibiyotik tedavisi sonrası düzelen 38 yaşında bir erkek hasta
sunulmuştur.
