Toward Robust ARB Inactivation in Wastewater: Comparing Performic Acid, Peracetic Acid, and Chloramination Using ICT, Resistance, and Reactivation Metrics

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 7, July 2026.
Performic acid (PFA) achieved rapid, linear, and consistent inactivation of enterococci and vancomycin‐resistant enterococci, peracetic acid (PAA) exhibited slower, variable kinetics with distinctive shouldering, and sodium hypochlorite proved the least reliable and displayed a “lower dose advantage.” These findings position PFA as a promising ...

Antibiotic Remodeling of the Gut Microbiota Impairs Host Resistance to Secondary Infection

iMetaMed, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
Gut microbial dynamics induced by four antibiotics, revealed distinct taxonomic and functional shifts. Vancomycin‐perturbed bacteriomes were proven to promote pathogen resistance to antibiotic treatment. Metronidazole‐treated mice showed pronounced Salmonella translocation to hepatic tissue, and altered Enterococcus avium populations modulated host ...

Outbreak of multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecium with transferable vanB class vancomycin resistance [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1994
Enterococcus faecium strains resistant to ampicillin, high levels of gentamicin, and vancomycin but susceptible to teicoplanin (vanB class vancomycin resistance) were recovered from 37 patients during an outbreak involving a 250-bed university-affiliated hospital.

Hospital‐Associated Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria on 95 Mobile Phones: An International Metagenomic “Phonome” Analysis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
On average, phones harbored 3.62 of the top 10 killers and 2.49 ESKAPE organisms. In total, 667 VFGs (8621 Hits) and 262 ARGs (2475 Hits) were identified on 95 mobile phones. Mobile phones serve as a platform for horizontal gene transfer and AMR development.

Evaluation of FilmArray Multiplex PCR Test Results in Bloodstream Infections in Oncological Patients

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 40, Issue 9, May 2026.
In this study conducted at an oncology hospital, BCID2 panel results for the rapid identification of microorganisms and resistance genes in positive blood culture samples were compared with conventional culture methods. The BCID2 panel provided faster results and showed a high correlation with traditional methods.

An outbreak of vanA vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium in a hospital with endemic vanB VRE [PDF]

Infection, Disease & Health, 2019
In Australia, vanB vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) has been endemic for over 20 years, but vanA VREfm isolates have rarely been reported.This outbreak report describes an outbreak of vanA VREfm in the intensive care unit (ICU) and cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) wards of a Melbourne hospital in 2015-2016.

Whole‐Genome Sequence Profiling of Listeria innocua From Different Sources: Implications for Public Health

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
The studied strains, LIN_NWU_CNKT and LIN5_NWU_CNKT, exhibit invasiveness, pathogenicity, and MDR profiles. The isolation of these strains from food products and water underscores their significant public health implications, particularly in the context of the “One Health” concept.

Genomic Insights Into a Hospital‐Acquired High‐Risk Vancomycin‐Resistant Enterococcus faecium Outbreak in Guangdong, China

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
We characterized a dominant ST80 clone responsible for a vancomycin‐resistant Enterococcus faecium outbreak in Chinese hospitals, revealing its close genetic ties to global lineages. A novel PCR method was developed for targeted surveillance of this high‐risk strain. ABSTRACT A comprehensive molecular epidemiological study was conducted on a vancomycin‐
