TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a prospective observational study in 6 university teaching hospitals and evaluated 505 consecutive patients with S. aureus bacteremia, including 21% with community-acquired S. annealing, 5% with hospital- acquired BAs, and 12% on hemodialysis, and the 30-day mortality was 31% among patients with endocarditis compared to 21% in patients who had BAs.
Infective Endocarditis - aspects of pathophysiology, epidemiology, management and prognosis
TL;DR: Infective endocarditis is a rare but complex disease that is fatal if untreated and with a modern combination of antimicrobial therapy and heart valve surgery, mortality is still 10-20 %.

New criteria for diagnosis of infective endocarditis : Utilization of specific echocardiographic findings. Duke Endocarditis Service
TL;DR: Application of the proposed new criteria increases the number of definite diagnoses and should be useful for more accurate diagnosis and classification of patients with suspected endocarditis and provide better entry criteria for epidemiologic studies and clinical trials.
