    This case study details infective bacterial endocarditis caused by Kingella kingae in a young male with a prosthetic mitral valve. It reviews microbiological aspects and treatment strategies for this rare condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cardiology
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious infection affecting heart valves.
    • Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Kingella kingae is an emerging pathogen increasingly recognized in various infections.

    Observation:

    • A case of infective bacterial endocarditis caused by Kingella kingae is presented.
    • The patient was a 26-year-old male with a prosthetic mitral valve.
    • The infection involved the prosthetic mitral valve.

    Findings:

    • Microbiological features of Kingella kingae relevant to endocarditis are detailed.
    • Treatment approaches for Kingella kingae endocarditis are discussed.

  • This case is compared with four previously reported instances of Kingella kingae endocarditis.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights Kingella kingae as a potential cause of prosthetic valve endocarditis.
    • Informs clinical management strategies for rare infective endocarditis cases.
    • Underscores the importance of considering less common pathogens in PVE.
