Co-colonization of vanA and vanB Enterococcus faecium of clonal complex 17 in a patient with bacteremia due to vanA E. faecium

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2014
A 53-year-old Vietnamese man with liver cirrhosis was transferred from a Vietnamese hospital to our tertiary care hospital in Korea in order to undergo a liver transplantation. Bacteremia due to vanA Enterococcus faecium was diagnosed, and stool surveillance cultures for vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) were positive for both vanA and vanB E ...

Misidentification of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium as E. avium

Clinical Microbiology Newsletter, 1998
sis (5). We also applied CFA analysis, but the decision to assign our isolate to the genus Aureobacterium was based on the results of simple and commonly available tests. Within the genus Aureobacterium, seven species have been described: A. barkeri, A. esteroaromaticum, A. flavescens, A. liquefaciens, A. saperdae, A. terregens, and A. testaceum (1,3,4)

Horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance from Enterococcus faecium of fermented meat origin to clinical isolates of E. faecium and Enterococcus faecalis

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2015
Enterococcus species are part of the normal intestinal flora of a large number of mammals including humans and consequently, they can be used as indicators of faecal contamination in food and water for human consumption. Their presence in large numbers in foods may indicate a lapse in sanitation and their ability to serve as a genetic reservoir of ...

Phenotypic characteristics of Enterococcus faecium variants confirmed by intergenic ribosomal polymerase chain reaction and E. faecium polymerase chain reaction

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1999
Enterococcus faecium has recently emerged as a serious nosocomial pathogen. The emergence of multiple antimicrobial agent-resistant E. faecium has been remarkable; with its strains it is one of the most phenotypically heterogeneous of all enterococcal species.

Diverse Antimicrobial Killing by Enterococcus faecium E 50-52 Bacteriocin

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2008
An effective bacteriocin was identified and characterized. Lactic acid bacteria were screened against Campylobacter jejuni. One bacteriocin producer, Enterococcus faecium (NRRL B-30746), was studied. The isolate was grown, and the bacteriocin was purified to single-band homogeneity.

Effect of the probiotic Enterococcus faecium NCIMB10415 on cell numbers of total Enterococcus spp., E. faecium and E. faecalis in the intestine of piglets.

Current issues in intestinal microbiology, 2007
Sows and their piglets were fed a diet supplemented with or without the probiotic E. faecium NCIMB10415 (also known as SF68). Piglets were sacrificed 14, 28, 35 and 56 days after birth and DNA from intestinal segments was extracted and purified. A real time PCR assay was used to distinguish Enterococcus spp. (16s rDNA based), E.

Virulence determinants and pathogenicity in Enterococcus faecalis and E. faecium

Magna Scientia Advanced Research and Reviews
Enterococci are Gram-positive bacteria that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract of many organisms, including humans. These bacteria can easily adapt to their surrounding environment, even under stress conditions that can be lethal to other microorganisms.

Morbidity and Mortality Comparing Vancomycin-Sensitive E. faecium and Vancomycin-Resistant E. faeciu

American Journal of Infection Control, 2004
Abstract BACKGROUND: Enterococcus, the fourth leading nosocomial pathogen in U.S. hospitals, is responsible for >13% of such infections. vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) accounts for 26% of all enterococcal nosocomial infections and is almost exclusively E. faecium.

Differentiation of vanA-positive Enterococcus faecium from vanA-negative E. faecium by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2014
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci are important nosocomial pathogens that require rapid and accurate detection for infection control. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) has begun to be used in many clinical laboratories because it is a rapid, simple and inexpensive method for identifying micro ...
