Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis Bacteremia: Acquisition and Outcome

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1995
The incidence of enterococcal bacteremia due to Enterococcus faecium is increasing. To understand the clinical significance of E. faecium bacteremia, we compared 16 patients who were bacteremic due to E. faecium to 56 patients who were bacteremic due to Enterococcus faecalis. E. faecium bacteremia developed most frequently in severely ill patients with

A PCR assay for identification of Enterococcus faecium

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1997
Enterococcus faecium has recently emerged as a serious nosocomial pathogen. The prevalence and severity of enterococcal infections, the mortality rate from such infections, and the antibiotic resistance of enterococci are often species dependent. Since conventional biochemical methods fail to differentiate E.

Spontaneous peritonitis caused by Enterococcus faecium

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1990
Three cases of spontaneous peritonitis caused by Enterococcus faecium are presented. The underlying condition was alcoholic cirrhosis in each case. This enterococcal species has never before been reported as a cause of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Two patients responded to therapy.

Enterococcus faecium resistant to ampicillin and gentamicin

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 1992
Thirty ampicillin-resistant enterococci were isolated from clinical specimens at our institution, 28 of these over a six month period. All were identified as Enterococcus faecium with an MIC(90) to ampicillin ond penicillin of 32 and 128 mug/ml, respectively.

Enterococcus faecium in hospitals

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1997
Most of the characteristics that have ensured the success of enterococci as nosocomial pathogens were described early in this century. Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis, the enterococci most frequently isolated from clinical material, differ fundamentally.
