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 ...

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.

Growth and energy generation by Enterococcus faecium FAIR-E 198 during citrate metabolism

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2003
Citrate metabolism by Enterococcus faecium FAIR-E 198, isolated from Greek Feta cheese, was studied in various growth media containing citrate either in the presence of glucose, or as the sole carbon source, both under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Different effects of matrix degrading enzymes towards biofilms formed by E. faecalis and E. faecium clinical isolates

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2017
E. faecalis and E. faecium cause urinary tract infections highly resistant to therapies due to a protective extracellular matrix. To exploit a new strategy able to treat infections without increasing antibiotic doses, we used enzymes targeting specific biofilm matrix components in combination with Vancomycin.

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.

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.

Characterization of E. faecalis and E. faecium strains involved in biliary stent occlusion

2004
Bacterial colonization plays an important role in biliary stent occlusion.The process is characterized by the formation of a microbial biofilm on the inner surfaces of the polymeric stent Gram-positive bacteria, particularly E. faecalis and E. faecium, are often found to be responsible of biliary stent colonization.
