IE and patent ductus arteriosus-associated DE are rising inside neonatal intensive care units and neonatologists should be aware of these conditions. Enterococcal IE and patent ductus arteriosus-associated DE sustained by high-level aminoglycoside-resistant strains can be successfully treated with the synergistic combination of ampicillin and cefotaxime even in preterm neonates.
