<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> A 44-year-old man with a bioprosthetic aortic valve suffered destructive endocarditis with severe embolic disease due to <jats:italic>Bartonella henselae</jats:italic> infection. Multilocus sequence typing was successfully performed with crude preparations of operative tissue as templates, and the infecting organism was determined to be typical of the Houston clonal group, although it was never cultured from blood or tissue. This is the first report of <jats:italic>B. henselae</jats:italic> infection in the South Pacific, and it reminds one that <jats:italic>B. henselae</jats:italic> is a cause of potentially lethal culture-negative endocarditis which may respond poorly to conventional empirical therapy. Nothing is known of the epidemiology of the infection in this region, but it is likely to be common and to contain representatives of both major clonal complexes. This study emphasizes the ease with which multilocus sequence typing can be used directly with tissue, which is important because of suggestions of strain-dependent clinical outcomes. </jats:p>
