Outpatient continuous-infusion benzylpenicillin combined with either gentamicin or ceftriaxone for enterococcal endocarditis

ConclusionsOutpatient treatment of enterococcal endocarditis with continuous-infusion benzylpenicillin combined with either once-daily gentamicin or ceftriaxone following a period of inpatient treatment is usually effective. A significantly higher rate of adverse effects was seen with gentamicin, favouring ceftriaxone as the initial synergy antibiotic.
