Differences in Outcomes for Patients with Bacteremia Due to Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium or Vancomycin-Susceptible E. faecium [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1996 To determine the differences in outcome in cases of enterococcal bacteremia due to vancomycin-resistant organisms, we compared consecutive patients on a liver transplant service who had clinically significant bacteremia due to vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF) (n = 54) with a contemporaneous cohort of patients who had vancomycin ...

Driving forces of vancomycin-resistant E. faecium and E. faecalis blood-stream infections in children [PDF]
Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2014 Rates of invasive vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) in the USA remains on the rise. Efforts to control vancomycin use and nosocomial transmission have had limited success in halting the spread of this pathogen. The role of antibiotic exposure remains a topic of controversy.

Vancomycin-Resistant <i>E. faecium</i>: Addressing Global and Clinical Challenges. [PDF]
Antibiotics (Basel)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a profound threat to modern healthcare, with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) emerging as a particularly resilient and clinically significant pathogen. This mini-review examines the biological mechanisms underpinning VREfm resistance, including biofilm formation, stress tolerance, and the ...

ccrAB Ent serine recombinase genes are widely distributed in the Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus casseliflavus species groups and are expressed in E. faecium [PDF]
Microbiology, 2010 The presence, distribution and expression of cassette chromosome recombinase (ccr) genes, which are homologous to the staphylococcalccrABgenes and are designatedccrABEntgenes, were examined in enterococcal isolates (n=421) representing 13 different species. A total of 118 (28 %) isolates were positive forccrABEntgenes by PCR, and a number of these were
