Journal ArticleDOI
Adherence characteristics of endocarditis-derived Streptococcus gallolyticus ssp. gallolyticus (Streptococcus bovis biotype I) isolates to host extracellular matrix proteins
TL;DR: The diversity of strains and differences observed in adherence characteristics to distinct host ECM proteins suggest that isolates of S. gallolyticus produce different surface components, similar to other gram-positive pathogens, to colonize the host and cause infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for fecal colonization with trimethoprim-resistant and multiresistant Escherichia coli among children in day-care centers in Houston, Texas.
Randall R. Reves,M Fong,Larry K. Pickering,Alfred V. Bartlett,M. E. Alvarez,Barbara E. Murray +5 more
TL;DR: It is likely that day-care centers are an important community reservoir of plasmid-associated antibiotic-resistant E. coli, and transmission and carriage of trimethoprim-resistant strains for as long as 6 months was documented in one center studied on three occasions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of Genes Encoding MSCRAMMs and Pili in Clinical and Natural Populations of Enterococcus faecium
Jouko Sillanpää,Vittal P. Prakash,Sreedhar R. Nallapareddy,Barbara E. Murray,Barbara E. Murray +4 more
TL;DR: The strong association of these genes with clinical isolates raises the possibility that their preservation/acquisition has favored the adaptation of E. faecium to nosocomial environments and/or patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utility of Oligo deoxyribonucleotide Probes for Detecting Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrent group B streptococcal infections in infants: Clinical and microbiologic aspects
TL;DR: Recurrence of GBS disease in infants may be associated with the original infecting strain or a second acquired strain.
