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 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 کاملEvaluation of antimicrobial resistance and virulence of enterococci from equipment surfaces, raw materials, and traditional cheeses.
Forty enterococci isolated along the production chains of three traditional cheeses (PDO Pecorino Siciliano, PDO Vastedda della Valle del Belìce, and Caciocavallo Palermitano) made in Sicily (southern Italy) were studied for the assessment of their antibiotic resistance and virulence by a combined phenotypic/genotypic approach. A total of 31 Enterococcus displayed resistance to at least one or ...
