Background: Enterococcus faecalis 2001 is a probiotic lactic acid bacterium and has been used as a biological response modifier (BRM). From physiological limitation of bacterial preservation in ...

This type of infection cannot be eliminated by host defense mechanisms, and needs to be treated by chemical–mechanical procedures. 6 Irrigation by chemical solutions should be aimed to eliminate both ...

In late 1996, vancomycin-resistant enterococci were first detected in the Siouxland region of Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. A task force was created, and in 1997 the assistance of the Centers for ...

The incidence of enterococcal bacteremia due to Enterococcus faecium is increasing. To understand the clinical significance of E. faecium bacteremia, we compared 16 patients who were bacteremic due to ...

Allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation is a mainstay of treatment for hematologic cancers, and the gut microbiota — the collection of archaea, bacteria, fungi, protists, and viruses that reside ...

The Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach issued water quality advisories for seven Palm Beach beaches, where Enterococcus bacteria were detected to exceed the recommended levels established by ...

A new study led by a research team from Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School describes how bacteria adapted to the modern hospital environment and repeatedly cause antibiotic-resistant ...
