    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The Gram-positive cocci, Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS), Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, are the bacteria most often isolated from patients with hospital acquired infections. S. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hemoproteins of Enterococcus faecalis

    Author : Lena Frankenberg; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Växtekologi; heme Enterococcus faecalis enterococci catalase cytochrome; Plant ecology;

    Abstract : The gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecalis is a commensal organism, often found in the gut of humans and other animals. It can cause opportunistic disease and it frequently causes nosocomial infections. Treatment of such infections is often impaired by this organisms broad intrinsic and acquired resistance to antibiotics. E. READ MORE

  5. 3. RAPD and REA for Characterization of Lactobacillus plantarum strains, and Enterococcus spp. with Special Reference to Enterococcus spp. from Meat and Humans

    Author : Mikael Quednau; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; pork; chicken; antibiotic resistance; Lactobacillus plantarum; Enterococcus; REA; RAPD; Livsmedelsteknik;

    Abstract : Restriction Endonuclease Analysis (REA) was used to characterize strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lb. pentosus, and Lb. reuteri. This method was shown to be a powerful tool for separation at the species and strain level. READ MORE

  6. 4. Battling Bacterial Biofilm - antibiotic regimens targeting Grampositive pathogens in biofilm

    Author : Anna Holmberg; Sektion III; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biofilm; antibiotic susceptibility; prosthetic joint infection; MBEC; Enterococcus faecalis; Enterococcus faecium; Propionibacterium acnes.;

    Abstract : AbstractBacteria in most environments encase themselves in a hydrated matrix of polysaccharide and protein, forming organized communities called biofilms. In the biofilm bacteria are protected against hostile environments. Biofilms are important clinically because of their persistence despite host defence and their recalcitrance to antimicrobials.

  7. 5. Periprosthetic Joint Infections. Clinical and Epidemiological Aspects

    Author : Olof Thompson; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prosthetic joint infection; arthroplasty; Streptococcus; Enterococcus; register; mortality;

    Abstract : Periprostheteic joint infection (PJI) is a rare complication of arthroplasty with severe consequences for the affected patients. PJI most often necessitates additional surgery and prolonged courses of antibiotic treatment, leading to worse functional results and increased societal costs. READ MORE
