RESUMO
The bacterial species Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is found worldwide as a commensal or a pathogen in a variety of animals. One well-defined pattern of human infection is an uncommon bacteremic form, with or without cutaneous involvement, usually complicated by endocarditis. We report the case of a 38-year-old male butcher with E. rhusiopathiae bacteremia, native aortic valve endocarditis and perivalvular abscess. The patient was released after six weeks of intravenous ceftriaxone and aortic valve replacement because of severe regurgitation
