DOI: 10.1186/s12866-019-1596-2
Abstract: BackgroundInfective endocarditis (IE) is associated with high rates of mortality. Prolonged treatments with high-dose intravenous antibiotics often fail to eradicate the infection, frequently leading to high-risk surgical intervention. By providing a mechanism of antibiotic tolerance,… read more here.
