Sequence Analysis of Enterococcus faecium Strain 10/96A (VanD4), the Original Vancomycin-Resistant E. faecium Strain in Brazil [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2006 ABSTRACT Enterococcus faecium strain 10/96A (VanD4) was the first vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) isolated in Brazil. Subsequent Brazilian VRE strains have all had the VanA phenotype. Multilocus sequence typing showed that strain 10/96A was isolated sporadically, has a unique sequence type (ST 281), and was ...

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)).
