  • Title: Successful conservative treatment of nontyphoid salmonella endocarditis involving a bioprosthetic valve.
    Author: Goerre S, Malinverni R, Aeschbacher BC.
    Journal: Clin Cardiol; 1998 May; 21(5):368-70. PubMed ID: 9595224.
    Abstract:
    We report a first case of Salmonella enteritidis endocarditis involving a bioprosthetic aortic valve. Despite additional native tricuspid valve involvement, the clinical course was favorable using an antibiotic regimen of ciprofloxacin and netilmicin. Although Salmonella prosthetic valve endocarditis is considered an indication for surgical replacement of the prosthesis, this case indicates that prolonged treatment with fluoroquinolones may be an alternative provided that the hemodynamic situation is stable.
