Abstrakt: A patient with endocarditis due to Streptococcus foe-calison an aortic valvular prosthesis was successfully treated using large oral doses of amoxicillin concurrently with intramuscular administration of streptomycin. Oral therapy was employed because of a persistent reaction to intravenously administered antibiotics. Oral therapy for bacterial endocarditis occurring on an artificial valve may be attempted as a last resort when all other accepted therapeutic measures have failed.
