Characterization of Enterococcus faecalis Phage IME-EF1 and Its Endolysin
Enterococcus faecalis is increasingly becoming an important nosocomial infection opportunistic pathogen. E. faecalis can easily obtain drug resistance, making it difficult to be controlled in clinical settings. Using bacteriophage as an alternative treatment to drug-resistant bacteria has been revitalized recently, especially for fighting drug-resistant bacteria. In this research, an E. faecali...
متن کاملCharacterization of vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis.
Vancomycin resistance in Enterococcus faecium 180, a clinical isolate from England, was studied. Resistance to vancomycin was transferable by conjugation to other enterococci. Expression of resistance was inducible and coincided with the appearance of a new membrane protein.
متن کاملcharacterization of vancomycin resistant enterococcus faecium
background: to determine the species distribution, updated drug susceptibility patterns and genes conferring resistance in clinical vancomycin resistant enterococcal (vre) isolates. methods: clinical enterococcal isolates collected during 7 months, from september 2005 to april 2006 from hospitalized patients and outpatients were studied. twenty five vre were isolated from 450 enterococci sam...
متن کاملRifampicin resistance and its fitness cost in Enterococcus faecium.
OBJECTIVES The genetic basis of rifampicin resistance and the associated fitness cost in Enterococcus faecium were investigated. METHODS Twelve spontaneous rifampicin-resistant E. faecium mutants were selected from four parent strains recently isolated from porcine faecal material. The DNA sequence of the complete rpoB gene from the parent strains and of nucleotides -189 to +1785 from the mut...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates from Bermuda
Molecular characteristics of vancomycin resistant enterococci isolates from Bermuda Island is currently unknown. This study was conducted to investigate phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of VRE isolates from Bermuda Island using the chromogenic agar, E-tests, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Eighteen E. faeciu...
