Treatment
- The relacin (14 mM) and NaOCl combined treatment resulted in significantly higher treatment efficacy than NaOCl treatment alone. At 0.05% NaOCl, the combined treatment resulted in 5.65 ( 0.19) log reduction in biofilm viability.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- A Charlson comorbidity score 5, corticosteroid treatment, placement of catheters or other prosthetic devices and history of antibiotic use were found more frequently in E. faecium BSI patients than in E. faecalis patients (P 0.017, P 0.027, P 0.008 and[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- In contrast to ampicillin treatment, the effect of vancomycin treatment on the microbiota was less uniform among individual mice.[doi.org]

- Abstract: Background: Post-treatment apical periodontitis are persistent infections in tissues surrounding teeth roots, which are the consequence of an endodontic treatment failure.[eurekaselect.com]
Prognosis
- Septicaemia with E. casseliflavus portends a poorer prognosis, and treatment usually involves administration of antienterococcal beta-lactams or anti-VRE medications such as linezolid or daptomycin.[casereports.bmj.com]
- Reasons for not performing colonoscopy were poor clinical status or prognosis irrespective of colonic disease or refusal of the patients or relatives.[revespcardiol.org]

- What is the prognosis of a vancomycin-resistant enterococcal (VRE) infection? VRE infections can be cured in most patients, and the outcome is often more dependent on the underlying disease than on the infecting organism.[medicinenet.com]
Etiology

Prevention
- Abstract Selective intestinal decontamination (SID) with norfloxacin has been widely used for the prophylaxis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) because of a high recurrence rate and preventive effect of SID for SBP.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Preventing infection Practicing good hygiene, especially in a hospital setting, can help prevent the spread of E. faecalis infection.[medicalnewstoday.com]
- If you do have VRE, you can help prevent transmission to others by letting your doctor know. Hospitals can use special precautions to help prevent the infection from spreading to other patients.[healthline.com]
- This high salt concentration prevents the growth of gram negative bacteria (those without the outer wall) as it causes them to become dehydrated and die.[sciencing.com]
- In contrast, the standard recommended intravenous antibiotics used in patients undergoing colorectal surgery did not eliminate E. faecalis at anastomotic tissues nor did they prevent leak in our rat model.[stm.sciencemag.org]
