Aim The aim of the present study was to evaluate the genetic diversity of Enterococcus faecalis ( E.faecalis ) strains isolated from saliva and infected root canal samples from Indonesians requiring endodontic treatment. Methods A total of 50 isolates were genotyped using enterobacterial repetitive in...

Many Enterococcus faecalis strains display tolerance or resistance to many antibiotics, but genes that contribute to the resistance cannot be specified. The multiresistant E. faecalis V583, for which the complete genome sequence is available, survives and grows in media containing relatively high levels...
Treatment of E. faecalis endocarditis has long been recognized as an important clinical challenge. The success of enterococcal population for surviving in multiple environments alongside a wide range of inhabitants, and the ease by which they acquire mobile genetic elements, including plasmids from other...
faecalis [1,2]. While IE incidence has remained constant in the last few decades [1], the rate of enterococcal IE has increased along with changes in patients’ characteristics [3,4]. Nowadays, E. faecalis IE treatment is still challenging [5]. Enterococcal antimicrobial resistance is a ...
faecalis and E. faecium.36,49 Others are shown in Box 34-2. Because enterococci are naturally resistant to a number of antimicrobials, treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics (which destroy competing bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract) selects for colonization by enterococci. The development...
VRE bacteremia is associated with higher mortality rates than bacteremia due to vancomycin-susceptible strains, and early treatment with an appropriate antibiotic within the first 48 hours of presentation has been associated with improved outcomes. Endocarditis Enterococci, particularly E. faecalis, are ...
