The Working Party on Antibiotic Policy (Dutch acronym: SWAB) has developed guidelines for in-hospital antimicrobial therapy of adult patients with infective endocarditis. The choice and the duration of antimicrobial therapy are determined by the infecting micro-organism, the sensitivity of this micro-organism to antimicrobial therapy, the location of the endocarditis (left- or right-sided) and the presence of intracardial prosthetic material. While waiting for the culture results, the antibiotic treatment of an infected native valve is benzylpenicillin (in cases which begin subacutely or have a long history) or flucloxacillin (cases which begin acutely, are fulminant or in i.v. drug users), and gentamicin. If a prosthetic valve is infected then treatment of choice is vancomycin and gentamicin. Further antibiotic treatment depends on the causative micro-organism. Streptococci, enterococci and staphylococci are the most frequently occurring of these.
