Enterobacter Cloacae Device Endocarditis: Case Report, Scoping Study, and Guidelines Review

Gram-positive organisms such as Staphylococcus spp., most frequently S. Auerus, but is rarely caused by gram-negative bacteria, both HACEK and non-HACEK species. We present the case of Enterobacter cloacae CIED endocarditis. We also present a scoping study of previous case reports and case series highlighting the risk factors, surgical interventions, and mortality outcomes associated with E. Cloacae endocarditis. We also discuss the current guidelines and recommendations on antibiotic therapies for non-HACEK Gram-negative endocarditis and surgical management of infected CIED extraction and replacement.
