Antibiotics, 2023 Enterococci are often used in probiotics but can also cause nosocomial infections. As such, enterococcal consumption may have beneficial health effects, but a thorough evaluation of virulence absence and risk of antibiotic resistance spread is needed at ...

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 ...

Enterococci and Vancomycin Resistance [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1998 The frequency of infections with multiply antibiotic-resistant gram-positive bacteria is increasing, and in some cases these organisms remain susceptible only to the glycopeptides vancomycin and teicoplanin. The appearance of transferable high-level glycopeptide resistance in enterococci--producing some strains that are now resistant to all available ...

Enterococci: yin - yang microbes
Mljekarstvo, 2006 This review deals with the duality of enterococci, which can be illustrated by their yin - yang behaviour. The rough nature of this specific group of lactic acid bacteria promotes their dissemination in various environments where they significantly ...

Enterococci from rabbits - potential feed additive
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2005 Enterococci (58) from faeces of rabbits of various age (from 2 months to 3 years) and 5 different rabbit farms were isolated and tested for survival in the presence of oxgall, lactic acid production, urease activity, resistance to low pH as well as their

Aminoglycoside Resistance in Enterococci [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2000 High-level aminoglycoside resistance in enterococci is mediated generally by aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes, which eliminate the synergistic bactericidal effect usually seen when a cell wall-active agent is combined with an aminoglycoside. Clinical microbiology laboratories currently screen for aminoglycoside resistance in enterococci by testing ...
