Leptotrichia species typically colonize the oral cavity and genitourinary tract. We report the first two cases of endocarditis secondary to L. goodfellowii sp. nov. Both cases were identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Review of the English literature revealed only two other cases of Leptotrichia sp. endocarditis.

Objectives: The opportunistic fungus Candida albicans is a component of denture plaque and is associated with denture-related stomatitis. Inter-kingdom interactions between C. albicans and bacteria exist in such multi-species biofilms, which may affect the microbial composition of the plaque.

The oral aerotolerant anaerobe is an unusual cause of endocarditis and is amenable to treatment with β-lactam antibiotics. Because this organism is difficult to identify by conventional methods, molecular detection is a key diagnostic modality. Broad-range 16S rDNA PCR followed by Sanger sequencing constitute the first-line molecular approach, yet poor DNA quality, contaminating DNA, or low template quantity make identification challenging.

Background: The presence of more than one bacterial agent is relatively rare in infective endocarditis, although more common in prosthetic cases. Molecular diagnosis from a removed heart tissue is considered a quick and effective way to diagnose fastidious or intracellular agents.
Case Presentation: Here we describe the case of postpartum polymicrobial prosthetic valve endocarditis in a young woman.
