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

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.

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 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.

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

In Vitro Adherence of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium to Urinary Catheters

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2000
The in vitro adherence of ten strains of Enterococcus faecalis and ten strains of Enterococcus faecium to siliconized latex urinary catheters and to silicone elastomer was evaluated. Bacterial suspensions (2.5x10(5) cfu/ml) in tryptic soy broth containing 0.5 cm segments from each type of catheter were incubated at 37 degrees C. At specified intervals,

Enterococcus faecium

2003
Hintergrund Unter den Enterokokken weist der Enterococcus (E.) faecium am häufigsten eine erworbene Vancomycinresistenz auf. Vancomycin resistente Enterokokken (VRE) werden zunehmend als Erreger nosokomialer Infektionen nachgewiesen. Fragestellung Wie häufig tritt der genotypische Nachweis von Vancomycin-resistenten E.
