Role of polymorphonuclear neutrophils on infectious complications stemming from Enterococcus faecalis oral infection in thermally injured mice.

Thermally Injured Mice Oral Infection in Enterococcus faecalis Infectious Complications Stemming from Role of Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils on

Isolation and characterization of the Enterococcus faecalis strain isolated from red tilapia (Oreochromis hybrid) in Indonesia: A preliminary report

The number of fishes were conducted a series of bacteriological examinations to confirm the clinical symptoms that appeared and led to streptococcal infection. Results of the external examination from two moribund red tilapia found the hemorrhagic traces in some parts of the body such as the cranial area near the mouth, eyes, operculum, and some body parts and erosion on the tail, pectoral, and...

The Inhibitory Effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG on Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus faecalis Colonization in Mouse

Background&Aims: Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE) are among the most common nosocomial pathogens worldwide. The intestinal tract provides a major source for transmission of these bacteria. Probiotics are living microorganisms that moderate use of them has inhibitory effect on intestinal colonization by enteric pathogens. We examined the effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) on inhibi...

Importance of the epa locus of Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF in a mouse model of ascending urinary tract infection.

Previously, TX5179, a disruption mutant of the enterococcal polysaccharide antigen (epa) gene cluster of Enterococcus faecalis strain OG1RF was shown to be attenuated in translocation, biofilm, mouse peritonitis and was more susceptible to polymorphonuclear leukocyte phagocytic killing. Here, wild-type E. faecalis OG1RF and TX5179 strains were tested in a mixed-infection (inoculum, approximatel...

Comparison of Antibacterial and Antifungal effect of Hydroalcoholicextract of Ephedra Gerardianawith Chlorhexidine 1% on Oral Pathogenesis isolates

Background: Infectious diseases such as tooth decay are a challenge to oral health in humans.Mouthwashes arean auxiliary tool and in addition to this, mechanical dental plaque control i.e. brushing and flossing, play an important role in controlling plaque. In the past three decades, the pharmaceutical industry has produced a significant number of antibiotics, but the resistance of microorganis...
