How long are persons with endocarditis treated for listeriosis?

Endocarditis and listeriosis are two different infections caused by different bacteria. Endocarditis is caused by a bacterial infection of the lining of the heart, while listeriosis is caused by a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium *Listeria monocytogenes*.

Treatment for endocarditis typically involves a course of antibiotics that is tailored to the specific bacteria causing the infection. Listeriosis is typically treated with antibiotics such as ampicillin or amoxicillin.

The duration of treatment for endocarditis and listeriosis can vary depending on the severity of the infection and the individual patient's response to treatment. In severe cases, endocarditis may require several weeks or even months of antibiotic therapy. Listeriosis is typically treated for a period of 2-3 weeks.
