| Abstract: | Most cases of infective endocarditis (IE) are caused by gram-positive bacteria such as enterococci, streptococci, and staphylococci.
Increasing resistance among these organisms has eroded the utility of mainstay antibiotics and complicated the management
of this difficult-to-treat infection. Clinical experience with newer gram-positive antibiotics to treat IE is limited. |
