Gold nanoparticles: An offer to control of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in wastewater [PDF]
Industrial wastewater is one of the most dangerous and important sources of bacterial pathogens. This study aimed to determine the frequency of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in samples taken from wastewater plants of Golestan Province, Iran, and

Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci [PDF]
Vancomycin‐resistant enterococci (VRE) are a major problem in numerous institutions in the United States. Most VRE are resistant to all available antimicrobial agents, resulting in serious therapeutic dilemmas. The resistance genes are transmitted on transposons, so the potential for dissemination to other species is significant.

Enterococci and Vancomycin Resistance [PDF]
The frequency of infections with multiply antibiotic-resistant gram-positive bacteria is increasing, and in some cases these organisms remain susceptible only to the glycopeptides vancomycin and teicoplanin. The appearance of transferable high-level glycopeptide resistance in enterococci--producing some strains that are now resistant to all available ...

Environmental contamination by vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) in Swedish broiler production
Background Vancomycin resistant enterococci are a frequent cause of nosocomial infections and their presence among farm animals is unwanted. Using media supplemented with vancomycin an increase in the proportion of samples from Swedish broilers positive ...

Vancomycin‐Resistant Enterococci in Canada Revisited [PDF]
B Lynn Johnston MD FRCPC, John M Conly MD FRCPC In the July/August 1997 issue of the The Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases, the Adult Infectious Disease Notes was entitled “The emerging epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in Canada”(1). At that time, it was acknowledged that VRE’s Canadian epidemiology was not fully elucidated.
