Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci
Critical Care Clinics, 2013Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) consist mainly of Enterococcus faecalis and E faecium, the latter mostly hospital-acquired. In addition, E gallinarum and E casseliflavus are intrinsically vancomycin-resistant and are community-acquired. VRE have become common in many hospitals throughout the world and, once established, are very difficult to ...

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci in Neonates
Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001Fecal-oral transmission of vancomycin-resistant strains of Enterococci (VRE), which colonize the human gastrointestinal tract, has led to nosocomial epidemics in recent years. The aim of this study was to establish the incidence and associated factors of fecal colonization with VRE in neonates. In our hospital 110 rectal swab specimens collected in the

Vancomycin resistance in staphylococci
Drug Resistance Updates, 1998Recent emergence of vancomycin resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) has posed a new threat to hospital infection control and antibiotic chemotherapy. Relatively low-level resistance of VRSA compared to that of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), and prevalence of S.

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci
The American Journal of Medicine, 1997Enterococci have been recognized as an important cause of nosocomial infections for almost 20 years and as a cause of endocarditis for almost a century. While long known for their capacity of displaying multiple antibiotic resistant traits, the extent to which this could occur was not fully appreciated until the emergence of enterococci with acquired ...

Controlling Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci
Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 1995Abstract After controlling an epidemic of vanB -type vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), we contained a subsequent vanA E faecium outbreak by using prospective laboratory-based ...

Vancomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2004Vancomycin resistance in enterococci, predominantly Enterococcus faecium, developed in the latter half of the 1980s, and the long anticipated development of vancomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus has now occurred. A number of vancomycin-intermediate strains have been described, and these strains have abnormal, thickened cell walls in the ...

Approaches to vancomycin-resistant enterococci
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2004This article reviews recent publications regarding new antimicrobial drugs for the treatment of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.Newer drugs against vancomycin-resistant enterococci are now available or will soon be available. Quinupristin-dalfopristin, a streptogramin, and linezolid, an oxazolidinone, are effective and safe but only bacteriostatic ...

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1999
Clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus displaying intermediate resistance to vancomycin (VISA) have been identified. The objective of our study was to identify VISA colonization among patients known to be colonized or infected with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Eight weekly point prevalence screening surveys for VRE and S.

The epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant enterococci
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 1999Major differences in the epidemiology of vanA carrying enterococci exist between Europe and the USA, where these organisms have been well investigated. These differences are probably related to the differences in antibiotic use in humans and animals in both continents, but more research is needed before firm conclusions can be drawn.
