Endocarditis Flashcards
Can you explain to me the risk factors for endocarditis?

Explain the pathogenesis of endocarditis
The virulence factors tend to be coagulase negative bacteria
What are the microbiological components of endocarditis? (2)
What are the microbiological components of endocarditis? (1)
Having staph aureus in the blood means endocarditis even if they do not have a prosthetic device
What are the microbiological components of endocarditis? (3)

Describe the treatment for endocarditis
What is the duration of therapy for endocarditis?
The picture here is very important
If the surgery prosthetic culture is positive on (ex feb 10) then u start combo therapy on feb 10
If the prosthetic culture is negative on (ex feb 10th) then the count starts on feb 5th

Describe Staphylococci treatment for MSSA and MRSA with a prosthetic valve. (3)
Describe Streptococci treatment.
Describe streptococci treatment with a native valve (1)
For the second pic if you add gent it shortens it to two weeks
Renal dysfunction no gent, but if they can handle it why not
