Overview
Many types of organism can cause infective endocarditis. These are generally isolated by blood culture, where the patient's blood is sampled under sterile conditions, and any growth is noted and identified. It is therefore important to draw blood cultures before initiating antibiotic therapy. 70% of cases of endocarditis are due to the following three pathogens; Streptococcus viridans, Staphylococci and Enterococcus.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
Common Causes
- Candida albicans
- Clostridium septicum[1]
- Enterococcus
- HACEK organisms
- Pseudomonas[2]
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Streptococcus bovis
- Streptococcus viridans
