摘要：

Polymicrobial infective endocarditis is uncommon, particularly vancomycin-resistant endocarditis and fungal endocarditis. The incidence of these infections is likely to increase with advances in medical technology and widespread use of central venous catheters, We report a case of bivalve endocarditis in which four organisms were identified, including vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and Torulopsis glabrata.
