We have collected five cases of infectious endocarditis (EI) due to unusual bacteria, with fascinating echocardiographic images. This series of cases opens a universe of questions about this disease that has shown an increase incidence rates due to notable improvements in IE diagnosis and treatment have been made. The greater volume of intracardiac devices, prosthetic valves, hemodialysis, and an increase in the elderly population, explain this dynamic spectrum. Furthermore, this poster is also a call to keep in mind different patterns of infection, bacterial resistance, and antimicrobial management in our changing world.
