Entire Body System
-
Vietnamese
A 53-year-old Vietnamese man with liver cirrhosis was transferred from a Vietnamese hospital to our tertiary care hospital in Korea in order to undergo a liver transplantation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Chronic Infection
Enterococcus faecium is a human pathogen that causes nosocomial bacteremia and at the present time, it is well known that most of the chronic infections are biofilm-based. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular
-
Chest Pain
A 39-year-old female presented with chest pain and a history of endocarditis 3 years prior to admission. Blood cultures were positive for E. faecium. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Microbiology

Listeria Monocytogenes
Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen that can cause infection in children, pregnant women, the immunocompromised and the elderly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The strains were tested against spoilage and pathogens microorganisms showing antimicrobial activity towards 4 strains of Listeria monocytogenes, one strain of Listeria innocua and 2 strainsof Staphylococcus aureus. [ri.conicet.gov.ar]
-
Scedosporium
A retrospective microbiological and radiologic review of the management of a rare case of multiple Scedosporium apiospermum and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium intra-cranial abscesses in an immunocompromised patient was performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Salmonella Typhi
These isolates were investigated further to examine their ability to inhibit growth of Salmonella typhi, Shigella flexneri and Escherichia coli by well diffusion assay. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Treatment of VRE in pregnancy can be challenging due to the teratogenicity or unknown safety of available options. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
This study assessed the predictive factors and prognosis of patients with bacteremia due to E. faecium as well as the antimicrobial susceptibility, particularly to daptomycin, among E. faecium isolates. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
This study investigated whether a non-pathogenic and non-biofilm strain of E. faecium functioned as a probiotic strain toward biofilm formation by Streptococcus mutans, which is an etiological agent for dental caries. [semanticscholar.org]
The late sepsis usually manifests as septicemia and pneumonia, occurring 72 hours after birth 20, caused by pathogens found in the nosocomial environment, including enterococci among the main etiological agents 3, 11. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Key words: molecular typing, Enterococcus faecium, PCR-PFGE Introduction The importance of enterococci in the etiology of hospital infections has been well documented in the literature (1-5) and knowledge of their epidemiology is fundamental for the implementation [scielo.br]
Recently E. faecalis and E. faecium play more and more important role in hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), such as bacteremia, endocarditis, infections of urinary tract and post-surgery wounds [ 4 ], and nowadays represent a second etiologic agent [doi.org]
Epidemiology
The epidemiology of VRE infection differs between Europe and the United States. [wwwnc.cdc.gov]
Interestingly, the factors contributing to this epidemiological change are not known and future studies may need to consider investigation of potential community sources. The Author 2016. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
Moreover, E. faecium strain E1165 bound efficiently to mucus, which may be prevented by the presence of the mucus-binding SpaC protein or antibodies against L. rhamnosus GG or SpaC. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These findings suggest that bacterial adaptation is complicating infection control recommendations, necessitating additional procedures to prevent E. faecium from spreading in hospital settings. [doi.org]
