Abstract
The model of experimental endocarditis can be used for the investigation of the different steps in the physiopathologic process leading to the formation of the infected cardiac vegetation. It has also greatly contributed to the knowledge of the characteristics of the infected vegetation. These data allow a better understanding of the therapeutic consequences (both preventive and curative) of the physiopathologic process.
