The Association of the mazEF Toxin-antitoxin System and Vancomycin Resistance in Clinical Isolates of Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus faecalis

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2022
Vancomycin resistant enterococci are challenging bacteria as they are difficult to be eradicated. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are genetic elements located in most prokaryotic genomes.

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.

Absence of High-Level Vancomycin Resistance in Enterococci Isolated from Meat-Processing Facilities

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001
Enterococci isolated from packaging areas of meat-processing facilities that produce ready-to-eat meat products were examined for high-level vancomycin resistance.

Effect of daptomycin and vancomycin on Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms: An in vitro assessment using fluorescence in situ hybridization [PDF]

, 2019
Colonization of in-dwelling catheters by microbial biofilms is a major concern in patient health eventually leading to catheter-related blood stream infections.

Proficiency of Clinical Laboratories in and near Monterrey, Mexico, To Detect Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999
Early detection of vancomycin-resistant enterococci is important for preventing its spread among hospitalized patients. We surveyed the ability of eight hospital laboratories in and near Monterrey, Mexico, to detect vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus ...

Staphylococcal accessory regulator SarA-mediated modulation of autolysis and surface charge enables Staphylococcus aureus to evade vancomycin killing

mSystems
Staphylococcus aureus is a major source of community and nosocomial infections. Due to the extensive application of antibiotics, S. aureus has developed resistance to antibiotics, especially vancomycin, making clinical treatment challenging ...

Antimicrobial Activity of the Quinoline Derivative HT61 against Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms. [PDF]

, 2020
Staphylococcus aureus biofilms are a significant problem in health care settings, partly due to the presence of a nondividing, antibiotic-tolerant subpopulation. Here we evaluated treatment of S.

UPDATE ON VANCOMYCIN RESISTANCE

International Journal of Clinical Practice, 2000
SUMMARYEnterococci can be responsible for severe infections such as endocarditis, meningitis and septicaemia and are one of the most important causes of nosocomial infections. Resistance in enterococci concerns many classes of antibiotics including, since 1986, glycopeptides.

Biofilm is a major virulence determinant in bacterial colonization of chronic skin ulcers independently from the multidrug resistant phenotype [PDF]

, 2017
Bacterial biofilm is a major factor in delayed wound healing and high levels of biofilm production have been repeatedly described in multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs).
