Pathogenicity of Enterococci [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2019
ABSTRACT Enterococci are unusually well adapted for survival and persistence in a variety of adverse environments, including on inanimate surfaces in the hospital environment and at sites of infection. This intrinsic ruggedness undoubtedly played a role in providing opportunities for enterococci to interact with other overtly drug-resistant ...

Pathogenicity of Enterococci

Nippon Saikingaku Zasshi, 2017
Enterococci belong to the group of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and inhabit the gastrointestinal tracts of a wide variety of animals from insects and to human, and the commensal organism in humans and animals. The commensal/probiotic role of enterococci has evolved through thousands of years in mutual coexistence. Enterococcus have many favorable traits

Isolation of enterococci, their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and associated factors among patients attending at the University of Gondar Teaching Hospital

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background Enterococci become clinically important especially in immune compromised patients and important causes of nosocomial infections. Data on the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and associated factors of enterococci are scarce in ...

Identification of Lactic Acid Bacteria From the Crust and Inner Part of Artisanally Produced Mihaliç Cheese Sold With Salty and Low Salty Label by Using MALDI-TOF-MS and 16S rDNA Sequencing. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Our results indicate that streptococci were predominant, particularly in the crust, and that Lacticaseibacillus paracasei/casei and Limosilactobacillus fermentum were the most common lactobacilli, with notable differences between SMC and LSMC samples. Furthermore, the presence of Streptococcus gallolyticus ssp. macedonicus and Str.

Current Trends of Enterococci in Dairy Products: A Comprehensive Review of Their Multiple Roles

Foods, 2021
As a genus that has evolved for resistance against adverse environmental factors and that readily exchanges genetic elements, enterococci are well adapted to the cheese environment and may reach high numbers in artisanal cheeses. Their metabolites impact

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing for Enterococci

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2022
Enterococci are major, recalcitrant nosocomial pathogens with a wide repertoire of intrinsic and acquired resistance determinants and the potential of developing resistance to all clinically available antimicrobials.

The Prevalence of Virulent and Multidrug-Resistant Enterococci in River Water and in Treated and Untreated Municipal and Hospital Wastewater

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
The aim of this study is to describe the drug resistance and virulence of enterococci in river water sampled downstream (DRW) and upstream (URW) from the wastewater discharge point, to determine the pool of virulent and drug-resistant enterococci in ...

Enterococci, from Harmless Bacteria to a Pathogen

Microorganisms, 2020
Enterococci are gastrointestinal commensals whose hardiness allowed them to colonize very diverse environments, including soils, water, food, and feed. This ability to overcome adverse conditions makes enterococci problematic once they colonize hospital ...

Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2000
SUMMARYAfter they were first identified in the mid-1980s, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) spread rapidly and became a major problem in many institutions both in Europe and the United States. Since VRE have intrinsic resistance to most of the commonly used antibiotics and the ability to acquire resistance to most of the current available ...
