This study was conducted to validate a simulated commercial baking process for hamburger buns to destroy Salmonella serovars and to determine the appropriateness of using nonpathogenic surrogates (Enterococcus faecium ATCC 8459 or Saccharomyces cerevisiae) for in-plant process validation studies. Wheat flour was inoculated (~6 log CFU/g) with three Salmonella serovars (Typhimurium, Newport, or ...

Enterococcus faecium has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen worldwide, and this trend has been associated with the dissemination of a genetic lineage designated clonal cluster 17 (CC17). Enterococcal isolates were collected prospectively (2006 to 2008) from 32 hospitals in Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, and Venezuela and subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Genotyping was perfo...

background vancomycin resistant isolates of enterococcous faecium (vre) have previously been reported from tehran hospitals. however, little data were available on the genetic heterogeneity of vre isolates among the iranian population. therefore the emergence of infections with the new clones of vre needs to be investigated. the drug resistance surveillance program at labbafinejad hospital has ...

Viability of probiotic bacteria in food during maintenance and time of consuming in food has become a challenge in food hygiene and technology and is important for representing their beneficial health effects. The aim of this study was to determine the survival of probiotic Enterococcus faecium derived from Koopeh cheese added to industrial Iranian ultra-filtrated (UF) cheese and screening for ...

Background and Objective: Enterococcal infections are considered the most common nosocomial infections. Nowadays, enterococci show high resistance to common antibiotics, especially vancomycin. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium is one of the most common nosocomial infections, which is included in the World Health Organization priority pathogens list for research and development of new an...

This study aimed to calculate the proportion of antibiotic resistance profiles Enterococcus faecium, E. faecalis, and durans isolated from traditional sheep goat cheeses obtained a selected border area Slovakia with Hungary (region Slanské vrchy). A total 110 sp. were cheese samples, which 52 strains (E. faecium (12), faecalis (28), (12)) represented. After isolation identification by polymeras...

In this study, we used the sequence of aac(6′)-Ii gene, which is responsible for intrinsic low-level aminoglycoside resistance Enterococcus faecium, to design novel species-specific primers. Two oligonucleotide pairs named EF_200 and EF_120 were designed, generating amplification products with sizes 200 bp 120 bp, respectively. They successfully applied identification various isolates clinical ...
