Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci: A Review of Antimicrobial Resistance Mechanisms and Perspectives of Human and Animal Health

open access: yesMicrobial Drug Resistance, 2017
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are both of medical and public health importance associated with serious multidrug-resistant infections and persistent colonization. Enterococci are opportunistic environmental inhabitants with a remarkable adaptive

Environmental contamination by vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) in Swedish broiler production

open access: yesActa Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2009
Background Vancomycin resistant enterococci are a frequent cause of nosocomial infections and their presence among farm animals is unwanted. Using media supplemented with vancomycin an increase in the proportion of samples from Swedish broilers positive ...

Enterococcal colonization of infants in a neonatal intensive care unit: associated predictors, risk factors and seasonal patterns

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2007
Background During and shortly after birth, newborn infants are colonized with enterococci. This study analyzes predictors for early enterococcal colonization of infants in a neonatal intensive care unit and describes risk factors associated with ...

Analysis of two pheromone-responsive conjugative multiresistance plasmids carrying the novel mobile optrA locus from Enterococcus faecalis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: The acquired optrA gene, which encodes a ribosomal protection protein of the ABC-F family, can confer cross-resistance to linezolid and florfenicol, posing a serious therapeutic challenge to both human and veterinary medicine.

Virulence of enterococci [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology Reviews, 1994
Enterococci are commensal organisms well suited to survival in intestinal and vaginal tracts and the oral cavity. However, as for most bacteria described as causing human disease, enterococci also possess properties that can be ascribed roles in pathogenesis.

Advances and Prospects in Vaccine Development against Enterococci

open access: yesCells, 2020
Enterococci are the second most common Gram-positive pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections. Due to the limited number of new antibiotics that reach the medical practice and the resistance of enterococci to the current antibiotic options, passive

Delayed antibiotic exposure induces population collapse in enterococcal communities with drug-resistant subpopulations

open access: yeseLife, 2020
The molecular underpinnings of antibiotic resistance are increasingly understood, but less is known about how these molecular events influence microbial dynamics on the population scale. Here, we show that the dynamics of E.

Development and testing of a risk indexing framework to determine field-scale critical source areas of faecal bacteria on grassland. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper draws on lessons from a UK case study in the management of diffuse microbial pollution from grassland farm systems in the Taw catchment, south west England. We report on the development and preliminary testing of a field-scale faecal indicator
