Endocarditis due to Cardiobacterium hominis is rare and may be treated with a variety of antibiotics.

The bacterial features of Cardiobacterium hominis are presented, and susceptibility to ciprofloxacin is documented with bacterial killing curves employing peak and trough specimens of patient's serum.
