A trend has been going on for some time- oral vs IV antibiotics for high consequence infections: A slippery slope to what is trending without enough evidence. Most supporting evidence to treat IE and SA bacteremia with oral antibiotics is retrospective & observational.

There are few prospective trials - but have significant methodology/ statistical flaws. Most have a long lead-in IV antibiotics nullifying the claim of equivalence. ID society should demand high quality evidence to change practice.

3/3- @CIDJournal @OFIDJournal or @NEJM should identify leaders in the field to review the data. The trend of moving to oral antibiotics in such high consequence infections is to say the list concerning! the review available is all one sided that minimizes flaws to drive a point
