Role of membrane vesicles in the transmission of vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Clonal transmission and horizontal gene transfer (HGT) contribute to the spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in global healthcare. Our study investigated vesiduction, a HGT mechanism via membrane vesicles (MVs), for vanA and vanB genes that ...

Methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) problem in human and livestock and solutions. [PDF]

Basrah Journal of Veterinary Research, 2023
Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic bacterium of humans and other mammals that is becoming more clinically and veterinary important due to its fast development of antibiotic resistance. Some of these S. aureus varieties are methicillin-resistant S.

Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2000
SUMMARYAfter they were first identified in the mid-1980s, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) spread rapidly and became a major problem in many institutions both in Europe and the United States. Since VRE have intrinsic resistance to most of the commonly used antibiotics and the ability to acquire resistance to most of the current available ...

Detection of Vancomycin Resistance among Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Vancomycin remains the drug of choice for resistant gram positive infections caused by Enterococcus spp and Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Increased use of vancomycin has led to frank resistance and increase in MIC (

Vancomycin resistant enterococci [PDF]

Burns, 1998
In a previous commentary, we made the case that the fear of methicillin resistant Stnpl~yZc~occus QZLY~US (MRSA) in their burn units caused some clinicians to use vancomycin, inappropriately, as a first line antibiotic to treat patients with clinical signs of sepsis in the absence of microbiological evidence that the patient was, indeed, infected with ...

Vancomycin resistant enterococci in urine cultures: Antibiotic susceptibility trends over a decade at a tertiary hospital in the United Kingdom [PDF]

Investigative and Clinical Urology, 2016
Purpose: Enterococci are a common cause of urinary tract infection and vancomycin-resistant strains are more difficult to treat. The purpose of this surveillance program was to assess the prevalence of and determine the risk factors for vancomycin ...

Utility of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration values and Antibiotyping for Epidemiological study of Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2021
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have emerged as an important nosocomial infection. Three important vancomycin resistance types namely, VanA, VanB, VanC are very commonly found in enterococci.

Differential Activity of the Combination of Vancomycin and Amikacin on Planktonic vs. Biofilm-Growing Staphylococcus aureus Bacteria in a Hollow Fiber Infection Model [PDF]

, 2018
Combining currently available antibiotics to optimize their use is a promising strategy to reduce treatment failures against biofilm-associated infections. Nevertheless, most assays of such combinations have been performed in vitro on planktonic bacteria

Vancomycin-resistantEnterococcus

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2012
The reported prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) in Switzerland for the years 2008–2010 has been low at <5%. At the University Hospital Zurich, 17 cases of VRE were detected between 28 December 2009 and 15 February 2010. Nine cases were diagnosed clinically; eight cases were detected by rectal screening.
