The finding that adherence was <90% with core guideline recommendations that all patients with suspected IE be seen by ID and that all patients undergo TTE is noteworthy. Aminoglycoside therapy of IE appears to be declining, with double β-lactam regimens emerging as the preferred treatment for enterococcal IE. The duration of postoperative antimicrobial therapy for patients undergoing valve replacement during acute IE is poorly defined and represents an area for which additional evidence is needed.
