VanD-type glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecium BM4339 [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1997
Enterococcus faecium BM4339 was constitutively resistant to vancomycin (MIC, 64 microg/ml) and to low levels of teicoplanin (MIC, 4 microg/ml). A 605-bp product obtained with the V1 and V2 primers for amplification of genes encoding D-Ala:D-Ala ligases and related glycopeptide resistance proteins was sequenced after cloning.

Impact of Prophylactic Cefepime on Surgical Site Infection and Severe Morbidity in Patients Who Underwent Pancreaticoduodenectomy With Preoperative Biliary Drainage

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although prophylactic broad‐spectrum antibiotics can reduce postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), the optimal regimen remains uncertain. This study evaluated the impact of prophylactic cefepime (CFPM) on surgical site infection (SSI) and severe morbidity after PD with preoperative biliary drainage.

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Analysis of pathogenic bacteria using exogenous volatile organic compound metabolites and optical sensor detection [PDF]

, 2015
A novel, low-cost and simple method for the detection of pathogenic bacteria is proposed. The approach is based on the generation of an exogenous volatile organic compound (VOC) produced by the addition of an enzyme substrate to the bacterial sample. The

Novel lytic bacteriophage vB_GEC_EfS_9 against Enterococcus faecium

Virus Research, 2022
Enterococcus spp. is a common commensal microorganism, however, some strains can cause opportunistic infections in humans. Treatment of Enterococcus faecium-related endocarditis, urinary and genital tract infections, meningitis, septicemia, and even neonatal sepsis is often complicated by antibiotic resistance.

The importance of adjusting for enterococcus species when assessing the burden of vancomycin resistance: a cohort study including over 1000 cases of enterococcal bloodstream infections

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2018
Background Infections caused by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are on the rise worldwide. Few studies have tried to estimate the mortality burden as well as the financial burden of those infections and found that VRE are associated with increased
