Abstract
En 中文
The post-surgical duration of antibiotic treatment for patients with active infective endocarditis (IE), receiving heart valve surgery is uncertain. We aimed to assess the antibiotic treatment received by, and outcomes of, patients with active Enterococcus faecalis IE (EFIE) receiving valve surgery. We also sought to assess whether a subset of patients with EFIE receiving valve surgery were cured with shorter durations of post-surgical antibiotic treatment.
