How Enterococcus faecalis bacteria causes antibiotic resistant infection Genomic study of 1980's outbreak at a Wisconsin hospital may provide targets for better treatment of hospital-acquired ...

The ability to acquire manganese during infection is essential for the virulence of Enterococcus faecalis in animals, according to a new study.

This study examined one of the first sustained hospital outbreaks of a multidrug-resistant bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis, which occurred from the early through the mid-1980s, causing over 60 ...

This microscopy image shows a biofilm with the three bacterial species the researchers studied: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (yellow), Escherichia coli (pink/purple), and Enterococcus faecalis (blue/green).

Despite best efforts, some bacteria are able to persist and circulate among patients, causing repeated infections. This study examined one of the first sustained hospital outbreaks of a ...

Dysbiosis can lead to the emergence of pathogenic commensal bacteria including Enterococcus species, particularly E. faecalis and E. faecium, which are associated with multidrug-resistant ...

A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular "slime" when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present. The finding could ...

The department of biology hosted a University of Florida professor at an Oct. 5 seminar, where he discussed nutritional immunity as a method to combat bacterial infections. José Lemos, associate ...

By combining old clinical specimens and new technology, it was determined that Enterococcus faecalis, a pathogen well known for hospital-acquired infections, has adapted to hospital conditions already ...

Understanding how E. faecalis moves out of the gut and spreads may one day help scientists find small molecules to stop the bacterium's extra-intestinal dissemination, preventing dangerous infections.

A study led by David Sancho at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) in Madrid reveals how an ...

Dysbiosis can lead to the emergence of pathogenic commensal bacteria including Enterococcus species, particularly E. faecalis and E. faecium, which are associated with multidrug-resistant infections ...
