Virulence Factors in Enterococci
Enterococcus species were considered as non-pathogenic bacteria until recognized as an important cause of bacterial endocarditis in 1899. During the past decade, there has been a worldwide increase in occurrence of enterococcal infections. Though more than 28 enteroccocal species described, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium are isolated most frequently. This might be explained by t...
متن کاملCharacterization of biofilm formation and virulence factors of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from paediatric patients in Tehran, Iran
Objective(s): Staphylococcus aureus can cause several infections. Its capability to form biofilm has been reported to be a vital property involved in the bacteria’s pathogenesis. Various genes contributing to biofilm formation have not yet been completely clarified. This study was designed to evaluate the factors influencing adherence and biofilm formation in S. aureus...
متن کاملEvaluation of Virulence Factors and Plasmid-Related Transmissibility among Different Isolates of Enterococci
The incidence of virulence factors among 114 Enterococcus faecalis and 35 Enterococcus faecium strains from different clinical specimens were compared with those isolated from control groups. A few of the isolates expressed two or more of the following traits simultaneously: hemolysin, aggregation substance, gelatinase, DNase, hemagglutinin and antibiotic resistance. The frequencies of hemolysi...
متن کاملMultidrug Resistance and Virulence Factors of Enterococci Isolated from Milk and Some Dairy Desserts
Background: Enterococci spp. bacteria especially Enterococcus faecalis and E. faecium have the ability to acquire antibiotic-resistance pattern and causing life-threatening hospital-acquired infections. So, the aim of this study was to count and isolate of E. faecalis and E. faecium from milk and dairy desserts consumed in Assiut city, Egypt. Methods: A total of 100 raw milk, ice cream, mehall...
متن کاملbiofilm formation and virulence factors among pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from burn patients
conclusions the high rate of mdrpa and its ability to produce biofilm is an alarm for public health. the statistical analysis showed that biofilm production in the mdrpa isolates was significantly higher than that in the non–mdrpa isolates (p < 0.001). background pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses a variety of virulence factors and infections caused by multidrug-resistant p. aeruginosa (mdrpa) in...
