Emerging Threat of Vibrio alginolyticus in Mediterranean Aquaculture: Virulence, Antibiotic Resistance, and Innovative Control Strategies

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Vibrio alginolyticus is an opportunistic marine pathogen increasingly associated with disease outbreaks in Mediterranean aquaculture, affecting fish, shrimp, and shellfish. The semi‐enclosed nature of the Mediterranean Sea, combined with rising seawater temperatures and intensive farming practices, creates favorable conditions for the persistence and ...

Molecular Profiling of CRISPR‐Cas System, Virulence Traits, and Antimicrobial Resistance in Enterococcus faecalis Clinical Isolates

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Enterococcus faecalis is responsible for life‐threatening enterococcal infections. This study is aimed at investigating virulence factors, antimicrobial resistance patterns, and molecular characteristics of clinical E. faecalis isolates. Materials and Methods A total of 42 E. faecalis isolates were collected.

Appearance of vanD-positive Enterococcus faecium in a tertiary hospital in the Netherlands: prevalence of vanC and vanD in hospitalized patients

Scientific Reports, 2019
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) can rapidly spread through hospitals. Therefore, our hospital employs a screening program whereby rectal swabs are screened for the presence of vanA and vanB, and only PCR-positive broths are cultured on VRE ...

First detection of vanB phenotype-vanA genotype vancomycin-resistant enterococci in Egypt

The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2019
Introduction: Enterococci have emerged in last two decades as serious hospital acquired pathogens particularly vancomycin resistant strains (VRE). The study aimed to identify the prevalence of enterococcal isolation from hospital infections and colonization as well as determine vancomycin resistance phenotypes and genotypes. Methods: Sixty enterococcus
