Abstract
Recent reports differ regarding microbiologic and epidemiologic characteristics of infectious endocarditis (IE). The authors studied cases presenting to our institution from 2001 to 2006, hypothesizing regional variation in patient populations and comorbidity (especially end-stage renal disease) sig...

Abstract
Gram-negative endocarditis due to HACEK bacteria (Haemophilus species, Actinobacillus, Cardiobacterium, Eikenella and Kingella species) and non-HACEK organisms is an infrequent occurrence but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Traditionally, non-HACEK Gram-negative endocarditis...

Abstract
In Denmark enterococci causes 15 to 20% of all endocarditis (IE) cases. The development of multi-resistant bacterial strains has increased the need for new antibiotics. Linezolid is an alternative to conventional treatment of infections with gram positive cocci. In this case report linezolid was use...

Abstract
Among the patients, the mitral valve alone was involved in 45% of cases, the aortic valve in 36%, tricuspid valve in 11%, and multiple valves in 8%. Forty-seven patients (44%) had prosthetic valves. Blood cultures were positive in 71 patients (66%). The most common isolated microorganisms were staph...

Abstract
Typically, the MVR patients were significantly older (p < or = 0.001), preoperatively more often intubated (p = 0.008) and in cardiogenic shock (p = 0.045), and more often underwent emergency surgery (p = 0.023). MVRep was associated with a significantly better survival, with 30-day, one-, five- and...
