Infective endocarditis (IE) remains a significant cause of mortality worldwide and reported cases are continuing to increase annually. We describe a case of a patient who would undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement complicated by postop gastrointestinal bleeding requiring partial colectomy with ileocolic anastomosis who would later present with fever, dyspnea, and persistently positive blood cultures who would be found to have tricuspid valve endocarditis from and species that was successfully treated with a combination of surgical resection and antimicrobial therapy.

() is the main pathogenic bacterium causing dental caries, and the modes in which its traits, such as acid production, acid tolerance, and adhesion that contribute to the dental caries process, has been clarified. However, a growing number of animal experiments and clinical revelations signify that these traits of are not restricted to the detriment of dental tissues. These traits can assist in evading the immune system within body fluids; they empower to adhere not merely to the surface of teeth but also to other tissues such as vascular endothelium; they can additionally trigger inflammatory reactions and inflict damage on various organs, thereby leading to the occurrence of systemic diseases.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the relationship between serum bicarbonate levels and 28-day mortality in critically ill patients with infective endocarditis using data from the MIMIC-IV database.
- Patients with higher serum bicarbonate levels upon ICU admission showed significantly lower mortality rates, suggesting that bicarbonate levels can be a potential prognostic marker.
- The findings indicate that monitoring bicarbonate levels could help assess risk and guide the clinical management of patients with infective endocarditis.
