LOINC description : In recent years, several types of bacteria have been associated with culture-negative
endocarditis, including Coxiella burnetti, Tropheryma whipplei, and Bartonella species.
Because cultures are sterile, diagnosis relies on other methodologies, including molecular
techniques. [PMID: 17889492] Such infections may involve native or prosthetic valves.;
