Native Valve Endocarditis
Lactococcus garvieae is regarded as a veterinary pathogen, causing hemorrhagic septicemia in fish (1) and mastitis in cows (2). The organism has also been recovered from a variety of dairy products, such as unpasteurized milk (3) and cheese (4–6), as well as various meat products (5,6). L. garvieae is an uncommon cause of human infection, with only a limited number of cases reported worldwide (7–20). Most infections involve either native (7–11) or prosthetic (12–15) heart valves, but cases of osteomyelitis (16–17), hepatic abscess (18), and septicemia (19) have also been documented.
