Surgical Treatment of Enterococcus Faecalis Mitral Valve Endocarditis Complicated with Mycotic Aneurysm

Kardiyovasküler Tıp E Dergisi/E Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine
Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive bacterium that can cause rapidly progressive endocarditis and requires urgent and aggressive treatment, including surgical intervention. Bacterial endocarditis may present itself with complications. Care should be

Subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) due to Streptococcus gordonii

Microbiologia Medica, 2009
Endocarditis is an inflammatory state of the endothelium that promotes thrombus formation and tissue damage on the surface of heart valves. Recent studies have reported endocarditis mortality rates ranging from 12% to 46% (2008).

Evidence for a Role of Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus gallolyticus in the Aetiology of Exudative Cloacitis in the Critically Endangered Kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus)

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The kākāpō is a critically endangered flightless parrot which suffers from exudative cloacitis, a debilitating disease resulting in inflammation of the vent margin or cloaca. Despite this disease emerging over 20 years ago, the cause of exudative cloacitis remains elusive.

Colon Cancer with Streptococcus gallolyticus Aortic Valve Endocarditis: A Missing Link?

Case Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine, 2019
Bacterial endocarditis is commonly encountered in clinical practice. Many bacterial species have been implicated; however, Streptococcus gallolyticus species (formerly “bovis”) has driven attention given a historical association with colon cancer ...

Mycotic aneurysm of the posterior tibial artery – a rare complication of bacterial endocarditis: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2008
Introduction Distal arterial embolisation and subsequent aneurysm formation are rare occurrences and most are secondary to trauma. We have found no case reports that describe posterior tibial aneurysm formation secondary to bacterial endocarditis.

Staphylococcus aureus COL: An Atypical Model Strain of MRSA That Exhibits Slow Growth and Antibiotic Tolerance due to a Mutation in PRPP Synthetase

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
COL is an unusual “model” strain of Staphylococcus aureus that exhibits slow growth and multidrug antibiotic tolerance. This phenotype is primarily due to a mutation in Prs, which synthesizes the core metabolite phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP). Introduction of the COL Prs allele into the antibiotic‐susceptible strain Newman confers tolerance, while

Mechanisms governing bacterial capsular polysaccharide attachment and chain length

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) are high‐molecular weight glycopolymers that form a capsule layer on the surface of many bacterial species. This layer serves as a crucial barrier between bacteria and their environment, protecting them from host immune responses and environmental stressors while facilitating adaptation to host niches.
