Endocarditis caused by Pseudomonasis even more infrequent, with the few reported cases associated with either intravenous drug use, prosthetic heart valves, or pacemakers.

Clinical management of polymicrobial endocarditis in young adults includes obtaining a detailed sexual history, using multiple diagnostic methods to confirm endocarditis, and promptly initiating broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy.
