چکیده
The ability of antibiotic resistant E. faecalis and E. faecium isolated from food to form biofilm at different temperatures in the absence or presence of 0.75% glucose was evaluated. A synergistic effect on biofilm at 10 °C, 28 °C, 37 °C and 45 °C and glucose was observed for E. faecalis and E. faecium.

In vitro biofilm formation was compared among Enterococcus species of bovine origin. One hundred-seventeen enterococcal isolates were tested. Isolates originated from aseptically collected bovine quarter milk samples and bedding samples from a single commercial dairy. Isolates from bovine quarter milk samples originated from mammary glands with clinical mastitis, cows with high somatic cell cou...

Abstract Background and Objective: some of predisposing factors for enterococci colonization are hospitalization in ICU, prolonged use of antibiotics and continued bed rest in hospital. In this study antibiotic resistance of enterococcus in hospitalized patients of four hospitals in Tehran were studied. Material and Methods: the Clinical samples were taken from patients admitted to the ICU, fro...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance of Enterococcus species isolated from produce.
The purpose of this study was to characterize the antibiotic resistance profiles of Enterococcus species isolated from fresh produce harvested in the southwestern United States. Among the 185 Enterococcus isolates obtained, 97 (52%) were Enterococcus faecium, 38 (21%) were Enterococcus faecalis, and 50 (27%) were other Enterococcus species. Of human clinical importance, E. faecium strains had a...
