Staphylococcus Auricularis Endocarditis: A Rare Cause of Subacute Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis with Severe Aortic Stenosis

Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) represents 20% of all cases of endocarditis. Herein, we present a rare cause of PVE by Staphylococcus auricularis (S. auricularis) exhibiting features of subacute endocarditis causing severe aortic stenosis and acute myocardial infarction.
