Only six cases of infective endocarditis associated with ESBL-EC have been reported in the past. Moreover, this is the first report of a patient with infective endocarditis bacteriologically or genetically analyzed for ESBL-EC. In future, factors that may cause infective endocarditis in ESBL-EC infections may be clarified through more thorough bacteriological/genetic analyses of ESBL-EC.
