Predictors of mortality and poor outcome in cancer patients with E. faecium bloodstream infection [PDF]

Anales del Sistema Sanitario de Navarra, 2015
To analyze predictors of mortality and poor outcome in cancer patients diagnosed with E. faecium bloodstream infection.Demographic, clinical and microbiological data were collected (January 1998-June 2011).After multivariate analysis, presence of a urinary catheter was associated with a worse 7-day prognosis, and higher mortality at discharge.

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Comparative and functional genomic analysis of foreign DNA defense mechanisms in Enterococcus faecium

Microbiology Spectrum
Enterococcus faecium is notoriously difficult to study genetically due to the poor understanding of barriers preventing foreign DNA uptake, such as the proteins that modify type I restriction modification (RM) system activity.
