Transcriptomic response of Enterococcus faecalis to iron excess
Iron is an essential nutrient for sustaining bacterial growth; however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that govern gene expression during the homeostatic response to iron availability. In this study we analyzed the global transcriptional response of Enterococcus faecalis to a non-toxic iron excess in order to identify the set of genes ...

Mobilization of the penicillinase gene in Enterococcus faecalis [PDF]
Enterococcus faecalis SF4855 is a beta-lactamase-producing isolate resistant to high levels of gentamicin, with determinants for these resistances on the chromosome. SF4855 transferred both determinants into E. faecalis FA2-2 and UV202 at a frequency of 10(-9) in the presence of the MLS plasmid pYN120.

Extracellular Electron Transfer by the Gram-Positive Bacterium Enterococcus faecalis.
Extracellular electron transfer (EET) in microbial cells is essential for certain biotechnological applications and contributes to the biogeochemical cycling of elements and syntrophic microbial metabolism in complex natural environments.

Increased human pathogenic potential of Escherichia coli from polymicrobial urinary tract infections in comparison to isolates from monomicrobial culture samples [PDF]
The current diagnostic standard procedure outlined by the Health Protection Agency for urinary tract infections (UTIs) in clinical laboratories does not report bacteria isolated from samples containing three or more different bacterial species.

Calf pyomyositis caused by Enterococcus faecalis [PDF]
Primary pyomyositis (PP) is a purulent infection of skeletal muscle, which is not caused by a contiguous infection from the bone, soft tissues or skin or by deep injuries.1 Rather, it is considered a local complication of a transient bacteremia. This infection is quite rare given the inherent resistance of normal muscle to bacterial colonization.

Identification of Novel Bacteriophages with Therapeutic Potential That Target Enterococcus faecalis
The Gram-positive opportunistic pathogen Enterococcus faecalis is frequently responsible for nosocomial infections in humans and represents one of the most common bacteria isolated from recalcitrant endodontic (root canal) infections. E.

Presence of multiple bacterial markers in clinical samples might be useful for presumptive diagnosis of infection in cirrhotic patients with culture-negative reports [PDF]
Bacterial infections in cirrhotic patients with ascites are associated with a severe prognosis and an increased risk of death. The microbiological standard tests for the diagnosis of suspected infection, based on culture test of blood and ascitic fluid ...

Pathogenicity Biofilm formation of Enterococcus faecalis
Biofilm formation is closely related to the pathogenicity of E. faecalis in persistent root canal infections. Limited information is available about the ability and characteristics of E. faecalis biofilm-forming in the persistent pathogenicity of root canal infections.

Enterococcus faecalis antigens in human infections [PDF]
Genomic libraries of two Enterococcus faecalis strains, OG1RF and TX52 (an isolate from an endocarditis patient), were constructed in cosmid vectors pBeloBAC11 and pLAFRx, and screened with a serum from a rabbit immunized with surface proteins of an E. faecalis endocarditis isolate and sera from four patients with enterococcal endocarditis.
