Many physicians believe that antimicrobial prophylaxis before procedures that may cause transient bacteremia can prevent endocarditis and prosthetic joint infection in patients at increased risk for these disorders. The effectiveness of this common practice has never been established by controlled trials in humans.

Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (Cipro - Miles), a synthetic antibacterial agent, was recently marketed in the USA for oral treatment of a wide variety of infections. Ciprofloxacin is the second fluoroquinolone to become available in this country; norfloxacin (Noroxin - Medical Letter, 29:25, 1987) is marketed only for treatment of urinary tract infections. Fluoroquinolones are more potent and have a much broader spectrum of activity than older quinolones such as nalidixic acid (NegGram).

The American Heart Association has issued its revised guidelines for prevention of infective endocarditis. Antimicrobial prophylaxis for dental procedures is now recommended only for patients at the highest risk of severe consequences from endocarditis who are undergoing the highest-risk procedures. Endocarditis prophylaxis is no longer recommended for gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) procedures. When these changes are implemented, the number of patients receiving antimicrobial prophylaxis to prevent endocarditis should decline sharply.
