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 ...

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)).
