This study aimed to calculate the proportion of antibiotic resistance profiles Enterococcus faecium, E. faecalis, and durans isolated from traditional sheep goat cheeses obtained a selected border area Slovakia with Hungary (region Slanské vrchy). A total 110 sp. were cheese samples, which 52 strains (E. faecium (12), faecalis (28), (12)) represented. After isolation identification by polymeras...

viability of probiotic bacteria in food during maintenance and time of consuming in food has become a challenge in food hygiene and technology and is important for representing their beneficial health effects. the aim of this study was to determine the survival of probiotic enterococcus faecium derived from koopeh cheese added to industrial iranian ultra-filtrated (uf) cheese and screening for ...

In this study, we used the sequence of aac(6′)-Ii gene, which is responsible for intrinsic low-level aminoglycoside resistance Enterococcus faecium, to design novel species-specific primers. Two oligonucleotide pairs named EF_200 and EF_120 were designed, generating amplification products with sizes 200 bp 120 bp, respectively. They successfully applied identification various isolates clinical ...

Recent studies have reported RP59500 (Synercid) (quinupristin-dalfopristin), a semisynthetic streptogramin, to have good in vitro activity against certain enterococcal strains, including vancomycin-resistant strains of Enterococcus faecium (3–5). The purpose of the present study was to determine the in vitro activity of this new compound against a larger sample of resistant strains of enterococ...

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance is the most important health problems currently. Antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent bacterial co-infections in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and lack of surveillance were associated with antimicrobial resistance. ESKAPE pathogens consisting E. faecium, S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, A. baumanii, P. aeruginosa Enterobacter spp. are healthcare-associated infecti...

Enterococci cause serious illness in immunocompromised patients and severely ill, hospitalized patients. Resistance to vancomycin has increased in frequency during the past few years. Limited therapeutic options are available for vancomycin-resistant enterococcal infections and the optimum therapy has not been established. We report a case of nosocomial vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium...

UNLABELLED The intrinsic resistance of Enterococcus faecium to ceftriaxone and cefepime (here referred to as "cephalosporins") is reliant on the presence of class A penicillin-binding proteins (Pbps) PbpF and PonA. Mutants lacking these Pbps exhibit cephalosporin susceptibility that is reversible by exposure to penicillin and by selection on cephalosporin-containing medium. We selected two ceph...
