Molecular Diagnosis of Granulicatella elegans on the Cardiac Valve of a Patient with Culture-Negative Endocarditis

We herein report one case of culture-negative infectious endocarditis (IE) where the organism, Granulicatella elegans, was identified by molecular analysis using broad-range PCR primers complementary to the 16S rRNA gene on the removed valve. The results and utility of this method are discussed.
