is associated with recurrent pregnancy loss [52], PPROM [53], and bacterial vaginosis in pregnant women [54]. Seliga-Siwecka and Kornacka reported that the presence of E. faecalis in amniotic fluid significantly increases the risk for acute placental inflammation, necrotizing enterocolitis, and ...
E. faecalis, the predominant human enterococcus, has been also related to oral diseases, such as caries, endodontic infections, periodontitis, and peri-implantitis [12,13,14]. It has been frequently implicated in failure of endodontic treatment, due to high resistance to endodontic ...
KEYWORDS: Enterococcus faecium; Enterococcus faecalis; Prematurity; PCR. INTRODUCTION Neonatal sepsis is the most frequent nosocomial infection in neonatal intensive care units and its incidence is increasing due to the increased survival of infants with very low birth weights13,15. ...

Enterococci were also found on a shore of freshwater Lake Michigan (USA) in dried algae of genus Cladophora, where they persisted for six months at the temperature of 4°C together with Escherichia coli [30]. The species E. faecalis, E. faecium, E. durans, and E. hirae can be found ...
treatment for various diseases, especially regarding skin infections or medical care during pregnancy. Another possible route of acquiring strains is through food, especially meat. However, the questionnaire that was given to donors in the current study was insufficient to provide this type of ...
bypasses the need for minimum inhibitory concentration measurements, as it does not rely on traditional methodologies. Microfluidic devices enable the rapid identification and accurate antimicrobial susceptibility testing ofE. faecalis, which are crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment in endodontic ...
Enterococci in the UGA can play beneficial and/or harmful roles in a strain-specific manner. Some strains of Enterococcus faecalis were previously reported as associated with urinary tract infections [2,3], especially in HIV-infected patients [2]. Moreover, some representatives of Enterococcus spp...
