Antimicrobial activity of Enterococcus faecium FAIR-E 198 against gram-positive pathogens [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2010
This study investigated the antimicrobial activity of Enterococcus faecium FAIR-E 198 against Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. Using the critical-dilution method, the bacteriocin produced by E. faecium FAIR-E 198 inhibited all L. monocytogenes strains evaluated (1,600 to 19,200 AU mL(-1)).

Isolation of Enterococcus faecium and determination of its mechanism for promoting the growth and development of Drosophila

Scientific Reports, 2023
Intestinal symbiotic microorganisms have a strong capacity to regulate the physiological functions of their host, and Drosophila serves as a useful model. Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) is a member of the normal intestinal flora of animals.

Gut <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> derived leucic acid mediates the antiobesity effect of dietary fiber. [PDF]

Imeta
This study identified Enterococcus faecium as a gut bacterium with anti‐obesity activity, which alleviated adipocyte hypertrophy, dyslipidemia, and hepatic steatosis by converting leucine into leucic acid (LEA) to regulate mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.

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 ...

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
