What is the mechanism of cure for bacterial endocarditis?
The mechanism of cure for bacterial endocarditis is not fully understood, but is thought to involve a combination of antibiotic therapy, mechanical disruption of the bacteria, and the body's own immune response. Antibiotics such as ceftriaxone and netilmicin have been found to be effective, and in some cases a combination of antibiotics may be used to increase the effectiveness of the treatment. In addition, mechanical disruption of the bacteria, such as through the use of catheters and surgical procedures, can help to clear the infection. Finally, the body's own immune response, which can be triggered by the antibiotics, is important for eliminating the bacteria and preventing recurrence.
