  5. 3. Molecular epidemiology of clinical Enterococcus faecium

    Author : Hanna Billström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Enterococci are today the third most commonly isolated species from bloodstream infections, and problems with ampicillin and vancomycin resistance are increasing. Some putative virulence factors such as the enterococcal surface protein (Esp) and hyaluronidase (Hyl) have been described in Enterococcus faecium. READ MORE

    Abstract : Food supplements containing viable bacteria, so called probiotics, have been suggested to have beneficial health effects due to their influence on the normal microflora. However, there has been safety concern regarding probiotics containing Enterococcus faecium. READ MORE

  7. 5. 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.
