The Prevalence and Characteristics of Infective Endocarditis in Liver Transplant Recipients: Insights From National Inpatient Sample Database. [PDF]

Clin Cardiol
The impact of infective endocarditis in patients with liver transplant needs further inquiry. Analysis of 170 650 patients with LT based on the presence of infective endocarditis was performed. Staphylococcus (18.6%) and Enterococcus (12.8%) were the most common strains identified in patients with IE.

Molecular detection and occurrence of vancomycin resistance genes (van A, B, C1, C2/C3) among Enterococcus species isolated from farm ostriches

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 226-233, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Evaluating the prevalence of vancomycin resistance genes (van genes) in enterococcal isolates from food‐producing animals is an important public health issue because of the possibility of resistance genes spread to human. Objectives The present study aimed to determine the occurrence of vancomycin resistance genes among Enterococcus

Oral flora of domestic cats in Hong Kong: Identification of antibiotic‐resistant strains

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 25-36, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background As the clinical outcome of bite‐associated infection is related to the oral commensals, evaluating their composition and antibiotic susceptibility pattern can provide more information for the antibiotic treatment of wound infections and increase the awareness of the multidrug‐resistant bacteria in cat oral flora. Aims This study was

TnSmu1 is a functional integrative and conjugative element in Streptococcus mutans that when expressed causes growth arrest of host bacteria

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 652-669, December 2022., 2022
TnSmu1 is an integrative and conjugative element (ICE) (a type of mobile element that is transferred from cell to cell via conjugation) found in the genome of the oral pathogen Streptococcus mutans. We found that TnSmu1 is a functional ICE, capable of transfer to recipient cells that lack a copy of TnSmu1.
