Endocarditis Infective
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Endocarditis Infective
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Left-sided native or prosthetic infective endocarditis based on the modified Duke criteria infected with one of the following nonresistant microorganisms: Non-resistant streptococci and other gram positive cocci,e.g., Granulicatella and Abiotrophia; Enterococcus faecalis; Staphylococcus aureus;coagulase-negative staphylococci and HACEK group.
- Male or female 18 years old or older.
- 10 days or more of appropriate parenteral antibiotic treatment overall and at least one week of appropriate parenteral treatment after value surgery.

- Transthoracic / transesophageal echocardiography performed within 48 hours of randomization
Exclusion Criteria:
- Body mass index >40
- Concomitant infection requiring intravenous antibiotic therapy
- Inability to give informed consent to participation
- Suspicion of reduced absorption of oral treatment due to abdominal disorder
- Microorganisms with no oral combinations for treatment (two active antibiotics of different families)
- Any immunosuppressive disease or any medical condition at the discretion of the investigator that may preclude oral or OPAT therapy
- No family or appropriate home support
- Reduced compliance

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Active Comparator
Experimental
OPAT
Oral Therapy
Patients with infective endocarditis diagnostic, who have completed at least 10 days of intravenous therapy, and/ or seven days in the case of cardiac valvular surgery, and shown good clinical evolution and no clinical or echocardiographic signs of potential bad prognosis will be randomized. If assigned to this arm the patient will recieve parenteral antibiotics until the end of treatment.
