Rabbit carcasses as important vectors of multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, but not E. faecium: prevalence and molecular characterization from a study in Poland

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Numerous studies indicate that multidrug-resistant Enterococcus bacteria are widely present on the carcasses of various food-producing animal species as well as in facilities used for their production.

Isolation of vanA-Mediated Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecalis (ST1912/CC116) and Enterococcus faecium (ST80/CC17), optrA-Positive Linezolid-Resistant E. faecalis (ST32, ST1902) from Human Clinical Specimens in Bangladesh

Antibiotics
Background/Objectives: Enterococcus is one of the major nosocomial pathogens. The present status of antimicrobial resistance determinants and virulence factors was analyzed for current Enterococcus causing infectious diseases in Bangladesh.

Crystal structure and biophysical characterisation of the enterococcal foldase PpiC, a cross‐opsonic antigen against gram‐positive nosocomial pathogens

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
PpiC is an enterococcal lipoprotein endowed with both Peptidyl‐prolyl cis‐trans isomerase (PPIase) and foldase activities. It is a potential target for novel antimicrobials and a promising vaccine antigen. We determined the crystal structure of the enzyme, showing that PpiC adopts a dimeric organisation embedding two catalytic parvulin‐type PPIase ...

Comprehensive analysis of bacteriocins produced by clinical enterococcal isolates and their antibacterial activity against Enterococci including VRE

Scientific Reports
It is well-known that Enterococcus species produce bacteriocins that have antibacterial activity. However, a comprehensive analysis of the bacteriocin distribution among Enterococcus strains has not been conducted.
