Present study showed that the ace genes do not seem to be necessary nor sufficient for the production of biofilm in Enterococcus faecalis but the presence of asa1, efaA, esp, and ebpR correlates with increased biofilm formation of dental root canal isolates [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hodgkin Lymphoma

  We report a rare case of Enterococcus faecalis meningitis in an 11-year-old child with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Infertility

  BACKGROUND: Infectious etiologies contribute to 15% of male factor infertility. Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) is commonly identified in semen culture of infertile men and it is associated with significantly poorer semen quality. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Systolic Murmur

  In the intensive care unit, the patient became febrile and developed a new 2/6 systolic murmur. Blood cultures grew E. faecalis, and the patient was given antibiotics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Corneal Opacity

  After 3 rounds of intravitreal antibiotics injection, the vitreous opacity disappeared on ultrasonographic finding but corneal opacity and corneal neovascularization still remained. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Photosensitivity

  Group 1 (n=10) specimens underwent PAD with photosensitizer (PS) solution (0.1mg/mL TB) and irradiation with Fotosan light emitting diode (LED) lamp (635nm, 200mW/cm2) for 60s. Creamy Ca(OH)2 paste was used in group 2 (n=10) for two weeks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Atelectasis

  Computed tomography (CT) of the chest revealed a large unilateral pleural effusion, compressive atelectasis, and no evidence of consolidation. Culture of the pleural fluid grew Enterococcus faecalis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• ST Elevation

  During a cervical laminectomy, the patient had a non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction that was treated conservatively. In the intensive care unit, the patient became febrile and developed a new 2/6 systolic murmur. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

Parasympathomimetics, immunosuppression and plasmapheresis have considerably improved management and prognosis of myasthenia gravis. Side effects of these measures, however, may complicate the course of the disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Reasons for not performing colonoscopy were poor clinical status or prognosis irrespective of colonic disease or refusal of the patients or relatives. [revespcardiol.org]

Early diagnosis of the microbial etiology of purpura fulminans is important. If Enterococcus faecalis is found as the causal organism, appropriate antimicrobial therapy may be used. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These secondary diseases are mainly caused by etiological pathogens from endodontic origin, especially Enterococcus feacalis and Candida albicans. [eurekaselect.com]

Control and prevention of these infections require appropriate epidemiological knowledge. This study investigated the correlation between molecular characteristics and drug resistance of E. faecalis isolates from local hospitals. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Elevated CSF IL-6 levels suggest that remote activation of intracerebral immune response through the immune-neuroendocrine pathway might play an important role in the pathophysiology of MERS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The antibacterial activities of the studied cranberry extract confirm that it could be successfully used in prevention of UTIs caused by E. faecalis. KEYWORDS: Antimicrobial; Enterococcus; UTIs; cranberry extract [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
