Comparison of the incidence of virulence determinants and antibiotic resistance between Enterococcus faecium strains of dairy, animal and clinical origin

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that E. faecium from traditional Sardinian raw milk cheeses should not be considered to be the main source of untreatable nosocomial enterococcal infections in humans in the island of Sardinia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection and Isolation of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis from intestinal mucosal biopsies of patients with and without Crohn's disease in Sardinia.

TL;DR: The finding of the organism colonizing a proportion of people without Crohn's disease is consistent with what occurs in other conditions caused by a primary bacterial pathogen in susceptible hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
