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 ...

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 ...

Validating a screening agar for linezolid-resistant enterococci
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019 Background Linezolid is an alternative treatment option for infections with multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria including vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Some countries report an increasing number of isolates with resistance to linezolid.

Impact of short-term storage on the quantity of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase–producing Escherichia coli in broiler litter under practical conditions [PDF]
, 2020 Applying broiler litter containing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)–producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) to arable land poses a potential risk for humans to get colonized by contact with contaminated soil or vegetables.

Vancomycin resistant enterococci [PDF]
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 ...
