	'''Subacute bacterial endocarditis''' (also known as '''SBE''') is a type of [[endocarditis]] (inflammation of the inner layer of the heart). It is caused by a certain type of bacteria that enters the bloodstream and settles in the heart lining, a heart valve or a blood vessel. It is differentiated from acute bacterial endocarditis by its more subacute course.
