Heteroresistance to Vancomycin in Enterococcus faecium [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2001
ABSTRACT This study presents the first report of vancomycin heteroresistance in an Enterococcus faecium isolate from a patient. The original isolate was susceptible in vitro to vancomycin. E-tests showed growth of subcolonies in a zone of inhibition with a vancomycin MIC of >256 μg/ml.

Biodegradation of Cholesterol by Enterococcus faecium YY01

Microorganisms, 2023
Cholesterol (CHOL) is one of the risk factors causing the blockage of the arterial wall, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and other serious cardiovascular diseases. Here, a promising bacterial strain for biodegrading CHOL was successfully isolated from the gut of healthy individuals and identified as Enterococcus faecium YY01 with an analysis ...

Characterization of vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1989
Vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium 180, a clinical isolate from England, was studied. Resistance to vancomycin was transferable by conjugation to other enterococci. Expression of resistance was inducible and coincided with the appearance of a new membrane protein.

Complete genome sequence of Enterococcus faecium strain TX16 and comparative genomic analysis of Enterococcus faecium genomes [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2012
AbstractBackgroundEnterococci are among the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections in the United States and Europe, withEnterococcus faecalisandEnterococcus faeciumbeing the two most common species isolated from enterococcal infections. In the last decade, the proportion of enterococcal infections caused byE.

Using groEL as the target for identification of Enterococcus faecium clades and 7 clinically relevant Enterococcus species

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2019
Background/Purpose: Accurate identification is important for effective treatment because Enterococcus species have talents to cope with various antibiotics either by intrinsic resistance or by acquisition of mobile genetic elements.
