dc.description.abstractWorldwide, virulent staphylococci represent one of the main causative agents of infective endocarditis (IE), and fighting this infection represents one of the main challenges in public health services (1).The diagnosis of IE is based on major criteria patterns (bacteremia and images showing endocardial changes) and minor criteria (2). Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and specially endocarditis is associated with a high mortality (3). The diagnosis of IE entails prolonged administration of antibiotics and rapid assessment for the need for heart valve surgery (4). If Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia is confirmed, the risk of IE is variable and dependent on factors related to both bacteremia and the patient (5). The main risk factors related to the patient are: previous heart disease, illicit intravenous drug use, heart valve surgery and use of cardiac implanted electronic devices (6-8). The main factors related to bacteremia refer to the bacterial load, expressed as blood culture shorter times to positivity and persistent bacteremia (9).
