IE: Infective endocarditis. Infection with coagulase-negative staphylococci (Staphylococcus epidermidis) is a relatively common cause of bacterial endocarditis in patients with valvular prostheses.8 Enterococci are causative agents in approximately 5 to 10 percent of bacterial endocarditis cases reported in several series.5 Streptococcus bovis occasionally causes bacterial endocarditis in patients with an underlying colon malignancy or other intestinal disorder. Responding to the growing concern about the increased frequency and resistance of MRSA infections, this invaluable source analyzes the latest developments in the identification, assessment, and management of methicillin-resistant Michel M, and the HACEK bacteria group. Infective endocarditis, osteomyelitis, and osteosynthesis-associated infections are mostly caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Patients infected with one of these organisms should be treated for four weeks with intravenous penicillin in doses of 12 million to 18 million units every 24 hours or 2 g of ceftriaxone (Rocephin) in a single daily dose given intravenously or intramuscularly.

Approximately 5 to 10 percent of patients who are not injection drug users and who have native valve endocarditis are infected with a slow-growing gram-negative bacillus of the HACEK group9 (Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Haemophilus aphrophilus, Actinobacillus actinomycetem-comitans, Cardiobacterium hominis, Eikenella corrodens and Kingella kingae). Gram positive bacteria - Enterococcus. Patients with endocarditis of a native valve caused by an organism in the HACEK group should be treated with ceftriaxone in a dosage of 2 g daily intravenously or intramuscularly for four weeks. Because of the serious consequences of untreated bacterial endocarditis, many patients are treated initially as if they have bacterial endocarditis until additional information is obtained that might resolve the diagnostic dilemma. Patients with infection of a prosthetic valve should be treated with ceftriaxone for six weeks. IntroductionThe reported incidence of infective endocarditis caused by aerobic gram-negative organisms ranges from 1.3% to 10% [1][2][3]. Surgical treatment of infective endocarditis. Injection drug users with right-sided endocarditis caused by MSSA can be effectively treated with a two-week course of nafcillin or oxacillin and gentamicin.16 This regimen should be reserved for patients who have no evidence of left-sided involvement, extracardiac infection, renal insufficiency, congestive heart failure or other hemodynamic compromise. 9. 2004;36:453-455.
