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.

Multidrug-Resistant Enterococcus faecium

Drugs, 1994
The prevalence of enterococci and nosocomial pathogens has increased over the past 15 years. They have become increasingly resistant to agents traditionally useful in the treatment of invasive diseases due to enterococci. Vancomycin resistance, first described in clinical isolates in 1988, has disseminated worldwide.

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.

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

Multiply-Resistant Enterococcus faecium

JAMA, 1992
IN THE PAST 10 years, the microbiology of nosocomial infections has changed considerably. Hospital-acquired infections due to enteric gram-negative bacilli have decreased in incidence, while those due to gram-positive organisms and fungi have increased.

Characterization of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium from wild flowers

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2011
Wild flowers in the South of Spain were screened for Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium. Enterococci were frequently associated with prickypear and fieldpoppy flowers. Forty-six isolates, from 8 different flower species, were identified as E. faecalis (28 isolates) or E. faecium (18 isolates) and clustered in well-defined groups by ERIC-PCR

PCR Typing of Enterococcus faecium

1997
In the last two decades enterococci, especially E. faecium, have emerged as a major cause of nosocomial infection. A knowledge of their epidemiology within the hospital environment is crucial for the implementation of effective infection control measures.

Colonization pattern of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium

American Journal of Infection Control, 1994
Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium is increasingly recognized as a serious problem by hospital epidemiologists. Understanding its colonization patterns may help in designing strategies to control its nosocomial spread in the hospital.Twenty patients, selected at random, with vancomycin-resistant E.

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.
