Abstract
The ESC diagnostic criteria for infective endocarditis (IE) added spondylodiscitis as a minor criterion. This resulted in that 11 of 1807 patients with Staphylococcus aureus, streptococcal, or Enterococcus faecalis bacteremia, were reclassified from possible to definite IE, of whom only two were treated as IE.
