Gerbode defect with Staphylococcus lugdunensis native tricuspid valve infective endocarditis

Journal of Cardiac Surgery

Abstract

Coagulase-negative staphylococci are generally not considered to be very virulent; they are an uncommon cause of native valve endocarditis. Staphylococcus lugdunensis is an important exception and causes more severe infections, clinically mimicking S. aureus. We present a case of direct Gerbode defect associated with S. lugdunensis native valve infective endocarditis (IE) requiring cardiac surgery.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
