| Core Tip |
While gram-negative bacillus (GNB) Non-Aggregatibacter aphrophilus, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Cardiobacterium hominis, Eikenella corrodens, Kingella spp. (non-AACEK) endocarditis has been associated with mainly intravenous drug use, the role of healthcare-associated contact has been highlighted in two prospective observational studies. Our aim was to review the characteristics and management of non-AACEK GNB endocarditis, especially in the case of Serratia marcescens. This bacterium has become a rare cause of endocarditis, but community acquisition still has an important role in this disease. We discuss treatment options, supporting long-term dual-antibiotic treatment as the preferred option for most patients with non-AACEK GNB endocarditis, whereas valve surgery does not seem to be necessary in all patients. |
