The pathogenicity of enterococci

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1994
In order to produce infection, enterococci must be able to colonize host tissues, resist the host's non-specific and immune defence mechanisms and produce pathological changes. With regard to colonization of host tissues, adherence assays have shown that enterococci can attach to intestinal and urinary tract epithelial cells and heart cells by means of

Enterococci and streptococci

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2007
Besides Staphylococcus aureus, other Gram-positive bacteria have become multidrug-resistant and cause therapeutic problems, particularly amongst hospitalised patients. The acquisition of vancomycin resistance by strains of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis is of particular concern and has resulted in treatment failures.

Glycopeptide resistance in enterococci

Trends in Microbiology, 1996
Glycopeptide resistance in enterococci results from the production of peptidoglycan precursors with low affinity for these antibiotics. The mobility of the resistance genes by transposition and conjugation and the ability of the resistance proteins to interfere with synthesis of normal precursors in different hosts indicate that dissemination into ...

VANCOMYCIN-RESISTANT ENTEROCOCCI

The Lancet, 1988
Enterococci, a part of normal gut flora, are not particularly pathogenic organisms in humans. For example, they do not cause respiratory tract infections. The most frequent enterococcal infections are urinary tract infections. Despite their lack of pathogenicity, enterococci have emerged as significant nosocomial pathogens in the United States and ...

Vancomycin resistant enterococci

Burns, 1998
In a previous commentary, we made the case that the fear of methicillin resistant Stnpl~yZc~occus QZLY~US (MRSA) in their burn units caused some clinicians to use vancomycin, inappropriately, as a first line antibiotic to treat patients with clinical signs of sepsis in the absence of microbiological evidence that the patient was, indeed, infected with ...

Occurrence of Siderophores in Enterococci

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, 2000
In 70 strains of the genus Enterococcus belonging to 16 species and isolated from clinical material, animals and the environment, a hydroxamic class of siderophores was detected with the aid of chemical and biological tests. A correlation between siderophore activity and species affiliation was found: E.
