Summary/Abstract: This case report describes a relatively rare and specific situation of vancomycin-resistant E. faecium infective endocarditis. Such cases are not described on the published literature and the guidelines. As a consequence, their management is relegated to suboptimal treatment with possible side effects of antimicrobial agents.
