Abstract
According to microbiological findings, more categories of endocarditis are identified. The list of microbial agents for endocarditis is vast and different from a country to another. The respective prevalence varies according to the status of the patient and the environment. We can distinguish nosocomial causes, traditional agents, zoonosis and addiction.
