Enterococcus faecium is an important pathogen that is resistant to many antibiotics and is able to form biofilms on implanted medical devices. In this study, the efficacy of rifampicin-containing antibiotic regimens against biofilms of E. faecium in vitro was investigated by determination of the ...
faecium strains. Conclusion E. faecium showed lower prevalence in endodontic infections and higher susceptibility to antibiotics when compared to E. faecalis. In in vitro assays, PDT had a significant antimicrobial activity for both strains. This is a preview of subscription content, log in via an...

The opportunistic pathogen Enterococcus faecium colonizes humans and a wide range of animals, endures numerous stresses, resists antibiotic treatment and stubbornly persists in clinical environments. The widespread application of antibiotics in hospitals and agriculture has contributed to the emergence of vanco...
they can either be utilized as probiotics in the food industry or demonstrate resistance to antibiotics, potentially leading to severe illness, disability, and death. Given the diverse characteristics ofEnterococcus faecalisstrains, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of their impact...
In vitro susceptibility of Enterococcus faecium isolated from food to growth-promoting and therapeutic antibiotics A total of 76 E. faecium strains, isolated at retail level from raw poultry meat, cheese, raw pork, and preparations of cheese and raw pork, were tested fo... P,Butaye,and,......
enterococci, particularly Enterococcus faecium, always had a high level of intrinsic resistance of antimicrobial agents. The mainstay treatment of serious enterococcal infections was the synergistic effect of penicillin/ampicillin or vancomycin and an aminoglycoside. However, by the 2000's high level ...
(PP2 that includes ST6 isolates), to date all the way back to the mid-19thcentury, markedly predating the emergence of modern hospital settings. Furthermore, the oldest clusters were shown to predate the introduction of antibiotics as a common treatment, while the most recent HA cluster (PP6...
faecium strains grown under two different conditions and identifies MV-associated proteins in all of them. Interestingly, 11 virulence factors are found among the MV-associated proteins, including biofilm-promoting proteins and extracellular matrix-binding proteins, which may aid in enterococcal ...
AlthoughEnterococcuscan inhibit pathogenic bacteria, it still has a non-negligible risk of disease. When antibiotics are abused or the host’s immunity is low,Enterococcuscan be imbalancedin vivo. The imbalancedEnterococcusspecies preferentially gather, adhere to the host cells throughadhesins, and sec...
