Healthcare-Associated Infections: Enterobacteriaceae Bloodstream Infections in the ICU Settings [PDF]
Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 2020 Background: Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are one of the most frequently observed hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Objectives: We aimed to describe the epidemiology and drug resistance of hospital-acquired Enterobacteriaceae BSIs and to check for any correlation with the type of hospital care.

Phenotypic Detection of Virulence Factors of Uropathogenic Enterobacteriaceae
Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2023 Members of the family Enterobacteriaceae are the major cause of nosocomial infections, including approximately 70% of gastrointestinal infections, 60% to 70% of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and septicemias.

Diversity among the tailed-bacteriophages that infect the Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]
Research in Microbiology, 2008 Complete genome sequences have been determined for 73 tailed-phages that infect members of the bacterial Enterobacteriaceae family. Biological criteria such as genome size, gene organization and gene orientation were used to place these phages into categories. There are 13 such categories, some of which are themselves extremely diverse.

Characterization of two polyvalent phages infecting Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractBacteriophages display remarkable genetic diversity and host specificity. In this study, we explore phages infecting bacterial strains of the Enterobacteriaceae family because of their ability to infect related but distinct hosts. We isolated and characterized two novel virulent phages, SH6 and SH7, using a strain of Shigella flexneri as host ...

Hospital-acquired Enterobacteriaceae bloodstream infections in children.
Developmental period medicine, 2019 Among the different age groups of children, newborns are most exposed to hospital-acquired bloodstream infection (HA-BSI), especially those who are burdened with additional risk factors, such as low birth weight, immaturity or exposition to medical procedures.
