Enterococcus faecalis grows on ascorbic acid.
We show that Enterococcus faecalis can utilize ascorbate for fermentative growth. In chemically defined media, growth yield was limited by the supply of amino acids, and the cells showed a much higher demand for amino acids than when they were grown on glucose.
متن کاملAntimicrobial Action of Oleanolic Acid on Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus faecium, and Enterococcus faecalis
This study investigated the antimicrobial action of oleanolic acid against Listeria monocytogenes, Enterococcus faecium, and Enterococcus faecalis. To determine the cytotoxicity of oleanolic acid, HEp-2 cells were incubated with oleanolic acid at 37°C. MICs (minimal inhibition concentrations) for L. monocytogenes, E. faecium, and E. faecalis were determined using two-fold microdilutions of olea...
متن کاملYancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis
Nosocomial infection caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) has become a great deal of recent concern. Although a number of cephalosporins had been synthesized in the past, few of them was effective against these resistant bacteria. Recently, TOC-39and TOC-50^3) bearing vinyl-thio linkage attached by substituted pyridines at C-3 we...
متن کاملEnterococcus faecalis endocarditis.
The increasing usage of cephalosporins, to which the enterococci are resistant, has resulted in the rising number of enterococcal infections worldwide. Enterococci are a normal part of the flora of the human gastrointestinal tract, buccal cavity, perineal skin, vagina, urethra and gallbladder, but may occur as pathogens in a number of sites causing urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infe...
متن کاملSodium Hypochlorite Inactivates Lipoteichoic Acid of Enterococcus faecalis by Deacylation.
INTRODUCTION Enterococcus faecalis is a pathogenic gram-positive bacterium closely associated with apical periodontitis. Although sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) has been used as a common endodontic irrigant to eradicate bacteria in the root canal, it has not been elucidated whether NaOCl attenuates the inflammatory response induced by the E. faecalis virulence factor lipoteichoic acid (EfLTA). M...
