Synthesis of E. faecium wall teichoic acid fragments
The first synthesis of different Enterococcus faecium wall teichoic acid (WTA) fragments is presented. The structure of these major cell wall components was elucidated recently and it was shown that these glycerolphosphate (GroP) based polymers are built up from -6-(GalNAc-α(1-3)-GalNAc-β(1-2)-GroP)- repeating units.

Analysis of pathogenic bacteria using exogenous volatile organic compound metabolites and optical sensor detection [PDF]
A novel, low-cost and simple method for the detection of pathogenic bacteria is proposed. The approach is based on the generation of an exogenous volatile organic compound (VOC) produced by the addition of an enzyme substrate to the bacterial sample. The

RNase 7 contributes to the cutaneous defense against Enterococcus faecium. [PDF]
BackgroundHuman skin is able to mount a fast response against invading microorganisms by the release of antimicrobial proteins such as the ribonuclease RNase 7. Because RNase 7 exhibits high activity against Enterococcus faecium the aim of this study was

Genotyping of enterococcus faecalis and enterococcus faecium isolates using a set of eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) [PDF]
A SNP genotyping method was developed for E. faecalis and E. faecium using the 'Minimum SNPs' program. SNP sets were interrogated using allele-specific real-time PCR. SNP-typing sub-divided clonal complexes 2 and 9 of E. faecalis and 17 of E.
