Case of Indolent Endocarditis Due to Pseudomonas stutzeri with Genetic Evidence of Relapse after 4 Years

Pseudomonas stutzeri, a gram-negative bacterium, is a common inhabitant of soil and water. We report an unusual case of a relapse of infective endocarditis due to P. stutzeri 4 years after the initial episode. The identity of the strains was proven by genomic analysis.
