Resumen

We present a case of a 48 years old male with <i>Gemella morbillorum</i> native mitral valve endocarditis. Due to poor growth of the organism, antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) could not be performed using the CLSI approved method. AST was determined using Etest© strips and the patient was successfully treated with mitral valve replacement and intravenous ceftriaxone.
