dc.description.abstract	Introduction Infective endocarditis (IE) carries significant mortality and morbidity and Streptococci and Staphylococci are the common causative organisms Apart from the HACEK group (Haemophilus, Actinobacillus, Cardiobacterium, Eikenella and Kingella), IE due to other gram-negatives are rarely reported. Risk factors of IE by non-HACEK group include intravenous drug abuse, healthcare contact and the presence of prosthetic cardiac devices (1). Here we report a review of two cases of complicated Enterobacter endocarditis.	en_US
