ABSTRACT
Coagulase negative staphylococci [CNS] were a rare cause of native valve endocarditis. However, they are emerging as an important cause of native valve endocarditis [NVE] in both community and healthcare settings. We describe a 64 yrs. old male who developed mitral valve endocarditis caused by coagulase negative staphylococci. There were no predisposing conditions or underlying cardiac disease that could have been the risk factor for the development of native valve infection. The patient had good recovery after six weeks of treatment with anti-staphylococcal antibiotics
