Key result
Staphylococcal endocarditis exhibits greater antibiotic resistance and worse clinical outcomes than streptococcal endocarditis.
Observational (n=64)
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Observations on bacterial resistance to antibiotics in 64 patients with bacterial endocarditis are reported. Streptococcus endocarditis is contrasted with staphylococcus endocarditis as regards course, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, and mortality. The management of bacterial resistant patients is stressed and particular emphasis is placed upon the role of the newer antibiotics such as aureomycin.

Levinson et al. (1950) conducted an observational in Bacterial endocarditis (n=64). Staphylococcus endocarditis and newer antibiotics (e.g., aureomycin) vs. Streptococcus endocarditis was evaluated on Course, bacterial resistance to antibiotics, and mortality. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics and clinical course were contrasted between staphylococcus and streptococcus endocarditis in 64 patients, emphasizing newer antibiotics like aureomycin.
