Article Synopsis
- * This report presents a case of culturenegative infective endocarditis caused by Neisseria bacilliformis, which was identified using 16S rRNA analysis of the affected valve tissue.
- * A literature review indicated that beta-lactam antibiotics are effective against N. bacilliformis, suggesting a relatively favorable outcome for patients, marking this as the first recorded instance of identifying N. bacilliformis in culture-negative endocarditis through 16S rRNA analysis.

SummaryWe describe a case of culture-negative infective endocarditis due to , where the application of metagenomics shotgun sequencing in blood played a pivotal role in elucidating the underlying aetiology, guiding targeted therapy and ultimately resulting in the patient's complete recovery. Beyond its immediate clinical impact, prompt treatment bears significant implications for public health. The utilisation of molecular testing emerges as a valuable strategy to enhance diagnostic accuracy, particularly in cases involving fastidious organisms that are infrequently associated with infective endocarditis.
