About Enterococcal endocarditis.

Enterococcal endocarditis is a severe, life-threatening infection of the cardiac endocardium and heart valves caused by bacteria of the genus *Enterococcus*, most frequently *Enterococcus faecalis*.

Primarily affecting older adults and individuals with prosthetic valves, structural heart disease, or healthcare-associated bacteremia originating from genitourinary or gastrointestinal sources, the condition typically presents as a subacute systemic illness.

Pathophysiologically, enterococci adhere to native or artificial endocardial surfaces to generate biofilm-encased fibrin and platelet vegetations, which can lead to progressive valvular destruction, heart failure, and systemic embolization.
