Abstract:

This article reports a case of infective endocarditis caused by Corynebacterium striatum and reviews relevant literature. The patient was a 52-year-old male diagnosed with infective endocarditis, from whom Corynebacterium striatum was isolated multiple times from peripheral blood cultures. Following a detailed clinical and laboratory evaluation, a definitive diagnosis of infective endocarditis due to Corynebacterium striatum was made. During treatment, the patient received a combined antibiotic regimen of meropenem and vancomycin, resulting in a favorable outcome. This article emphasizes that Corynebacterium striatum, as an opportunistic pathogen, is increasingly associated with infections in immunocompromised individuals (those with prolonged use of antibiotics, long-term hemodialysis, organ transplantation, interventional procedures such as catheterization, diabetes, and malignancies), and this should alert clinicians to its rising incidence.
