the endocardial layer of the heart would be most susceptible to infection caused by the bacteria which is present in the circulating blood.
Explanation:
- In case of infective endocarditis is the valves of the heart are often defective. Here the defective valves makes it easier for the bacteria which is present in the blood to lodge in such places.
