Phenotypic Detection of Virulence Factors of Uropathogenic Enterobacteriaceae
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]
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]
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 ...

Short- and Long-term Effects of Bacterial Gastrointestinal Infections
During 1997–2004, microbiologically confirmed gastrointestinal infections were reported for 101,855 patients in Sweden. Among patients who had Salmonella infection (n = 34,664), we found an increased risk for aortic aneurysm (standardized incidence ratio

Hospital-acquired Enterobacteriaceae bloodstream infections in children.
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.
