Emergence of Infective Endocarditis Due to <i>Serratia</i> spp.: Results of a Multicenter Cohort
In this multicenter study, we found that S-IE may be increasing, is commonly associated with IDU, is treated with varying strategies and carries high inpatient mortality. Procedural intervention and combination antibiotics were associated with lower mortality. Our study is limited by varying methods of case identification and a lack of data on clinical severity and surgical indications. Further study is urgently needed to define best management practices.
