Endocarditis due toAbiotrophiaspp. occurs in about 5% of endocarditis cases. Most of the cases respond to a combination of penicillin and gentamicin, or vancomycin. We describe a case ofStaphylococcus epidermidis(CONS) andAbiotrophiaspp. endocarditis that failed vancomycin treatment, but responded to daptomycin and rifampin.
