Antibiotic therapy following polymerase chain reaction diagnosis of infective endocarditis: a single centre experience

11 Feb 2015

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Conventional culture methods often fail in the aetiological diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE), complicating adequate IE treatment. Therefore, in addition to culture diagnostic methods, our clinical department uses a broad-range 16S and 18S rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing test to detect and identify IE agents. METHODS: Between 2009 and 2013, we performed 246 valve...
