Popis: A unique episode of Enteroccus caselliflavus infected left atrial thrombotic mass is described and commented on the basis of the available literature i this field. Mobile enterococci, like Enterococcus gallinarum and E. casseliflavus/flavescens, usual inhabitants of poultry/pet gut, are infrequently transmitted to humans. Sparse case reports of human disease are present, usually in compromised and/or hospitalized hosts [9-23]. We herewith describe the first case of E. caSselliflavus infection of a left atrial mass, associated with bacteremia.
