Transfer of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
, 2017 Staphylococcus aureus is a serious human pathogen with remarkable adaptive powers. Antibiotic-resistant clones rapidly emerge mainly by acquisition of antibiotic-resistance genes from other S. aureus strains or even from other genera.

Enterococcus faecalis resistant to vancomycin and teicoplanin (VanA phenotype) isolated from a bone marrow transplanted patient in Brazil [PDF]
, 2001 We report for the first time in Brazil, a patient from whom an Enterococcus faecalis VanA phenotype was isolated. Glycopeptide resistance is not commonly observed in Enterococcus faecalis, so this finding is of great concern since this species is ...

Enhanced strategies for cuproptosis‐like death in bacterial infection treatment
BMEMat, EarlyView.This review summarizes and examines the molecular mechanisms underlying cuproptosis‐like death. Furthermore, multi‐strategy efficacy enhancement and potential enhancement approaches are analyzed. Abstract Copper, a classical antibacterial metal, has long been of interest and widely used in medical and public health applications.

Molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility of enterococci recovered from Brazilian intensive care units [PDF]
, 2004 : We studied the antimicrobial resistance and the molecular epidemiology of 99 enterococcal surveillance isolates from two hospitals of Brasília, Brazil. Conventional biochemical tests were used to identify the enterococcal species and the disk diffusion
