faecium and E. faecalis strains areused as probioticsand are ingested in high numbers, generally in the form of pharmaceutical preparations. Such probiotics are administered to treat diarrhoea, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea or irritable bowel syndrome, to lower cholesterol levels or to improve host im...
faecium causing UTI (endogenous infections). Method: We investigated the correlation between fecal isolates from the same patient and UTI-causing isolates using PFGE and WGS, and classified fecal isolates into two groups: those that solely colonized and those associated with endoge...
Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium are the most common species in human infections. To evaluate the possibility of rapid detection of these species and their occurrence in the blood of newborns with suspected nosocomial infection, blood samples were collected from 50 newborns with late ...
Molecular characterization of resistance, virulence and clonality in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcusfaecalis: a hospital-based study in Beijing, China. Infect Genet Evol. 2015;33:253–60. CAS PubMed Google Scholar Torelli R, Serror P, Bugli F, Paroni Sterbini F, ...
faecium. How- ever, many, if not most, strains of these species are harmless commensals, with some enterococci being marketed in Europe to alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and recurrent chronic sinusitis or bronchitis (Cylactin® and Fargo688® (E. faecium) and Symbioflor 1 (...
faecium, includingPDTand antibiotics. The mortality rate of larvae depended on the number ofbacterial cellsinjected into the insect hemocele, and all strains ofE. faeciumtested were able to infect and killG. mellonella. Antibiotic treatment usingampicillin,gentamicinor the combination of ampicillin ...
faecium infections has occurred. In particular, ampicillin- and fluoroquinolone-resistant E. faecium strains that belong to hospital adapted strains known as clonal complex 17 (CC17) have emerged. CC17 isolates have been found in dogs, but their virulence gene profile and antimicrobial susceptibility...
We next investigated if theE. faecalisstrain variation also affects dual-species biofilm augmentation by testing three additionalE. faecalislaboratory strains and 28 clinical isolates derived from bloodstream (VRE isolates), wound (TTSHW-EF05 to EF43), urinary tract infections (UTIEF isolates), or ...
most common species: E. faecalis (80-90%), E. faecium NF in GI tract VRE=vancomycin resistant enterococcus hard to treat. resistant to many antibiotics (penicillin & vancomycin) successful treatment often needs synergystic relationship between penicilin & vancomycin) ...
no vancomycin-resistant E.faecium and E.faecalis were found.Two strains of linezolid resistant while vancomycin sensitive Enterococcus were found.Conclusion E.faecalis and E.faecium are the main strains.Antibiotics should be selected reasonably to Enterococcus isolates according to the result of drug ...
