“…In humans, so far it has been isolated only as the aetiological agent of arthritis, infection associated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, or infection associated with prosthetic bones and joints [22,23]. Staphylococcus warneri has also been the aetiological agent of infective endocarditis in drug users [24] as well as immunocompetent individuals [25,26,27,28,29]. Reports of symptomatic urinary tract infection caused by this pathogen are available in the literature [30].…”

This paper discusses the case of a patient with exudative bacterial pneumonia caused by Staphylococcus warneri. The patient had been abusing alcohol and nicotine for several decades, which should be considered an immunosuppressive factor. Staphylococcus warneri is part of the skin microbiome, but can also be a pathogenic agent in certain circumstances. Pleural fluid is an unusual site of isolation for the staphylococcus described. The literature contains case reports of arthritis, endocarditis, urinary tract infection or infection associated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis caused by Staphylococcus warneri. With the development of medicine, the phenomenon of immunosuppression is becoming more common, posing the threat of an increase in invasive infections caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci. In addition, an overly liberal use of antibiotics may contribute to the generation of multidrug resistance in these micro-organisms.

“…Outro estudo relatou um caso de endocardite valvar nativa causada por Staphylococcus warneri, ocorrendo em um homem saudável de 19 anos, sem prótese, sem histórico de punção cutânea, sem condição valvar prévia e sem indicação de imunocomprometimento, dois meses após cura de infecção por COVID-19. Neste estudo, relata-se que os pacientes com COVID-19 podem estar em maior risco para complicações trombóticas e, portanto, suscetíveis à endocardite infecciosa (Gelman et al, 2022).…”

Este estudo, objetivou a analisar a incidência de resistência bacteriana pós infecção por COVID-19. Para a realização dessa revisão de literatura do tipo integrativa, tomou-se como base de estudo: Incidência de resistência bacteriana pós infecção por COVID. Foi realizado o levantamento dos artigos na literatura, para esta revisão, nas bases de dados: LILACS, BVS (biblioteca virtual em saúde), PubMed e Scielo. Foram utilizados, para busca dos artigos, as seguintes palavras-chave e suas combinações nas línguas portuguesa e inglesa: “COVID-19”, “resistência bacteriana” e “coinfecção”. Todas as palavras foram previamente consultadas nos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (Decs). O levantamento ocorreu entre os meses de abril a junho de 2022. A predisposição para o desenvolvimento de bactérias e fungos está se mostrando evidente em pacientes que contraíram o coronavírus. Pacientes com COVID-19 possuem dimensões relatadas de complicações, incluindo síndrome do desconforto respiratório, taxas de letalidade ou outras variáveis associadas a essas complicações. Dentre as doenças pós síndrome respiratória da COVID-19, foram encontrados estudos de caso de endocardite infecciosa de prótese valvar mitral, endocardite infecciosa da válvula nativa, endoftalmite bilateral, endocardite infecciosa mitroaórtica complicada por insuficiência cardíaca e acidente vascular cerebral hemorrágico, mucormicoses, síndrome inflamatória multissistêmica pediátrica e linfocitopenia em pacientes com talassemia. São relatos recentes, e ainda são necessários mais estudos para correlacionar a dimensão da gravidade da influência do COVID-19 com a resistência bacteriana. Concluímos que co-infecções com vários micro-organismos são comumente encontradas em pacientes infectados por SARS-CoV-2 que influenciam significativamente a gravidade e taxas de mortalidade por COVID-19.

“…The hypothesis of missed diagnosis at the pediatric age, even more so in the adolescent population, is strengthened by the existence of numerous reports of post-COVID-19 endocarditis among patients between 19–25 years old. These cases were identified both on structurally normal heart and on affected heart (e.g., bicuspid aortic valve, coarctation of the aorta, rheumatic heart disease), among the incriminated pathogens finding Staphylococcus warneri, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus gordonii ( Alizadehasl et al., 2020 ; Toth et al., 2020 ; Arbune et al., 2021 ; Gelman et al., 2022 ). Other uncertainties arise from the existence of cases of infective endocarditis in the pediatric population, during the reference period (related to the peak of the pandemic), in which the performance/results of the certifying analyzes of the acute infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus are not mentioned ( Şahiner et al., 2021 ).…”

Infective endocarditis is a rare disease in children. The etiology is mainly bacterial. However, viral infective endocarditis, possibly related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has also been reported. The pathophysiological principle of the connection between the two entities seems to be attributed to the transient immune deficiency of the body during the infection. Additionally, SARS-CoV-2 is reported in the literature as a direct cardiopathic virus. Therefore, the new coronavirus seems to have the ability to affect both the intact cardiac tissue and the previously damaged one both during the acute episode and at a distance from it. Consequently, we propose to review the main pathophysiological aspects of pediatric cardiac damage caused by SARS-CoV-2. The ultimate goal is to deepen existing knowledge, broaden the horizon of understanding and analysis regarding the systemic damage induced by viral infections, and strengthen an information base from which to start a meta-analysis. Next, we performed a non-systematized screening of the specialized literature with reference to cases of endocarditis in the pediatric population, reported in the period 2020–2023. From the total of articles found, we chose to include in the review a number of 6 case reports, including a number of 7 patients (5 children and 2 adolescents). Analysis of reports suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection could play a role in the development of endocarditis, either directly through active infection or indirectly through a post-infectious immune response. Also, pre-existing conditions and complex medical history predispose to an increased risk of developing a severe, complicated form of endocarditis. Also, the lack of data on the vaccination history and the failure to categorize the infection depending on the type of antibodies (IgM or IgG) in some studies represent a major bias in the reports. The latter make it difficult to evaluate the influence of vaccination and the impact of acute versus chronic infection on the course of cases.
