Infective endocarditis (IE) is the endovascular microbial infection ofcardiovascular structures (cardiac valve, ventricular or atrial endocardium)
including endarteritis of large intrathoracic vessels. Orthopedic diseases,
particularly spondylodiscitis and osteomyelitis are frequently associated with
infective endocarditis and prevalence varies between 3.7-15%. Diabetic foot
infection is a complication which develops as the result of peripheral neuropathy
and insufficient tissue perfusion, proceeds to deeper tissues unless treated and
impairs the quality of life of the patients, even it may be life-threatening. S.aureus
and beta-hemolytic streptococcus are the most commonly isolated bacteriae.
