Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus is the most common organism. Approximately 30% of those having bacteremia with staphylococcus will develop endocarditis. This review was aimed to discuss the complications following infective endocarditis, and also overview the proper antibiotics treatment, and how effective could be this option of treatment over other options, we also indented to overview the risk factors and epidemiology of infective endocarditis in most evidence based review. We searched, with English language restrictions, and only human subject articles following electronic databases; PubMed, MEDLINE and EMBASE for any relevant article, whether was it reviews or randomized controlled studies or systematic reviews discussing infective endocarditis from the time of databases inception to December 2016. We used the term ‘infective endocarditis’ for the Mesh keyword. Date last search performed was December, 2016. Optimal antibiotic recommending for enterococcal IE requires that MICs of penicillin, amoxicillin, aminoglycosides, and glycopeptides be determined. When the strain shows only low‐level resistance to aminoglycoside, advised therapy is a combination of high‐dose β‐lactam (30-- 40 million units/day penicillin or 200 mg/kg/day amoxicillin) plus gentamicin for 4-6 weeks. The aminoglycoside element ought to be administered in two or three equally divided doses; this suggestion is based on outcomes of speculative studies. When it comes to high‐level resistance to gentamicin, cross‐resistance may be expected with all other aminoglycosides, other than often streptomycin
Keywords: Staphylococcus aureus, infective endocarditis, MICs of penicillin, amoxicillin, aminoglycosides.
