5 Streptococcal microbiology Viridans Streptococci hemolytic make up 40% total IE Oralis (Mitis) reduced pen MIC 25% each: sanguis, mutans (caries), salivarius, intermedius, anginosis/milleri Group B strep agalactiae underlying co-morbidities high mortality NVS 5% Gemella /hemolysans/abiotrophia rare pleomorphic on gram stain Indolent, underlying VHD, poor outcome

6 Clinical picture Streptococcal IE Dental origin Underlying valvulopathy, PVIE Subacute 20% Emboli, stroke, Heart failure Indications for surgery: uncontrolled sepsis, HF

7 Group D Streptococci Bovis/gallolyticus/infantarius in gut more common France Colonoscopy in all cases assoc d colon cancer Enterococci up to 18% IE increasing ageing population Sub-acute < 25% classic features, older males, urinary tract procedures Cure difficult intrinsic resistance to cephalosporins High mortality persists Bacteremia -?IE community acquisition, underlying VHD, cryptogenic source, mono-microbial

9 Therapy principles in IE unique setting Vegetation fibrin mesh impairs host immune defense Inoculum effect high bacterial density with reduced metabolic rate/cell turnover Less susceptible to cell wall active therapy Increased lactamase, resistant sub-populations Penetration into vegetations correlates with serum concentration Weeks to eradicate, relapse common

10 Therapy principles in IE unique setting Bactericidal drugs In vitro killing reflected in vivo models Supported by clinical studies Combinations lactam and AG (synergy) Duration Prolonged high bacterial density, slow phase growth 2 weeks in uncomplicated NV VGS IE, Staph Right sided Drug penetration Variable into vegetation fibrin/plat Anti platelet/anticoagulant effect enhanced killing

12 Therapy Empiric ID consultation Duration from negative BC, postop if valve culture positive Monitored for HB, HF Early surveillance cultures Anticoagulation controversial PVIE no change Cardiac surgery access 35-50% require surgery

13 Strep Therapy NV PV Bactericidal Combination lactam, aminoglycoside weeks HITH Cure > 90%

14 Viridans sensitive to pen. MIC < 0.12ug/ml Combination pen/ag 2-4 weeks excellent cure low relapse compared to pen alone for 2 weeks 50% relapse Uncomplicated NVIE pen sensitive Alter CTX 2g daily and AG for 2 weeks 4 weeks/2 week combination if complicated/pvie

15 Aminoglycoside synergy Gentamicin monitor nomogram Synergy low concentrations 1-3 ug/ml, daily total dose 3mg/kg at once/twice/ thrice Less nephrotoxicity excellent outcomes Ototoxicity Nephrotoxicity

16 NVS Treatment as per pen MIC highly susceptible Pen MIC < 0.12ug/ml, 98% cure 4 weeks pen, CTX, synergy AG 2 weeks daily dosing uncomplicated IE 4 weeks monotherapy avoids AG toxicity Alternative Vancomycin
