Journal ArticleDOI
Enterococcal Endocarditis: Can We Win the War?
TL;DR: The best treatment of IE MDR enterococcal endocarditis is unknown and the paucity of antibiotics with bactericidal activity against these organisms is a cause of serious concern.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nosocomial transmission of enterococci
Volkan Korten,Barbara E. Murray +1 more
TL;DR: Rapid identification of patients infected or colonized by multi-resistant enterococci, strict adherence to infection control practices, and prudent use of antibiotics all seem necessary to control and prevent nosocomial infections due toEnterococci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genes involved in the regulation of beta-lactamase production in enterococci and staphylococci.
K K Zscheck,Barbara E. Murray +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the transposon mutagenesis of the staphylococcal beta-lactamase plasmid pI524 was shown to result in constitutive beta-lamase production in enterococci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci: recent advances in genetics, epidemiology and therapeutic options.
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that glycopeptide-producing organisms might be the remote origin of the vancomycin resistance genes, and efforts to control these organisms are particularly important.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of the epa Locus of Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF in a Mouse Model of Ascending Urinary Tract Infection
TL;DR: The epa locus of E. faecalis OG1RF contributes to murine urinary tract infection and is the first such enterococcal polysaccharide locus shown to be important in this site.
