    Gram-negative bacilli endocarditis is rare but serious. Effective antibiotic therapy followed by surgery improves outcomes, especially for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections, with recent prosthetic cases showing full recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cardiology
    • Bacteriology

    Context:

    • Gram-negative bacilli endocarditis is an infrequent but severe condition.
    • This study analyzed 28 cases of native and 65 cases of prosthetic endocarditis caused by Gram-negative bacilli.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and optimal management strategies for Gram-negative bacilli endocarditis.
    • To evaluate the impact of bacterial species, infection source, and treatment modalities on mortality.

    Summary:

    • Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common pathogen. Hospital-acquired infections were frequent, often linked to invasive procedures.
    • Overall mortality was 50%, higher in native endocarditis and Pseudomonas infections. Surgical intervention improved outcomes when preceded by effective antibiotic therapy.

    Impact:

    • The findings underscore the necessity of prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment, including surgery after a course of antibiotics.
    • Successful management of prosthetic endocarditis cases suggests improved treatment protocols and potential for better patient survival.
