    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) is a serious infection.
    • Haemophilus species are known, though less common, causes of endocarditis.
    • Understanding the microbiological features of causative agents is crucial for treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the microbiological characteristics of a Haemophilus paraphrophilus isolate.
    • To report a case of subacute bacterial endocarditis caused by this specific strain.
    • To highlight any unique features of the isolate, particularly its antibiotic susceptibility.

    Main Methods:

    • Bacterial isolation and identification from blood cultures.
    • Standard microbiological techniques for characterization.
    • Antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

    Main Results:

    • A strain identified as Haemophilus paraphrophilus was isolated.
    • The isolate was confirmed to be the causative agent of subacute bacterial endocarditis.
    • The strain demonstrated sensitivity to ampicillin, a deviation from prior reports.

    Conclusions:

    • Haemophilus paraphrophilus can cause subacute bacterial endocarditis.
    • This case highlights an ampicillin-sensitive strain, expanding the known microbiological profile.
    • Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is vital for guiding therapy in H. paraphrophilus endocarditis.
