While fecal bacteria including Enterococcus faecium strains are part of the normal flora found in human and animal guts, the latter became a serious issue in hospitals and animal food through their high profi- ciency to simultaneously acquire multi-antibiotic resistance. Vat (E) and vat (D) ...
Concerns regarding increased prevalence of daptomycin (DAP)-resistant strains necessitate novel therapies for Enterococcus faecium infections. Obligately lytic bacteriophages are viruses that target, infect, and kill bacterial cells. Limited studies have evaluated phage-antibiotic combinations against E. faecium...

Enterococcus faecium has become an important microorganism in nosocomial infections with great ability to acquire antibiotic resistance. However, little is known about their presence on the oral cavity. Therefore, our objective was to verify the presence of E. faecium and E. faecalis in endodontic in...
Antibiotic use whether for therapy or prevention of bacterial diseases, or as performance enhancers will result in antibiotic resistant micro-organisms, not only among pathogens but also among bacteria of the endogenous microflora of animals. The extent to which antibiotic use in animals will contribute...
Transient intestinal carriage after ingestion of antibiotic-resistant Enterococcus faecium from chicken and pork. BACKGROUND: Antibiotic-resistant enterococci are often present in retail meats, but it is unclear whether the ingestion of these contaminants leads to sust... Thomas Lund Srensen,M Blom,Dom...

for five days. The team used a range of doses and routes of administration, including those that would be similar to clinical human doses, to maximize the likelihood of observing resistance emergence. Next, they collected fecal samples from the mice to measure the extent of VR E. faecium ...
Syphilis: Benzylpenicillin sodium is one of the preferred treatments for syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It is administered intravenously or intramuscularly, depending on the stage and severity of the infection. ...
The occurrence and antibiotic resistance of enterococci, especially Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, in milk, beef, and chicken in Gaborone, Botswana, were studied. Enterococci were isolated from these sources with the use of bile esculin agar and identified with API 20 Strep kits. An...
