enterococcus

It is, he said, "easy to transfer resistance genes among enterococcus bacteria and to other things like staphylococcus."

By 1997, according to the centers, more than half of all enterococcus faecium strains could not be treated with vancomycin.

And the bacteria - E. coli and Enterobacter and enterococcus - were also unexpected.

A virulent strain of staphylococcus aureus has incorporated endozine-resistant plasmids from enterococcus."

Other bacteria that can cause urinary tract infections include Staphylococcus, proteus, klebsiella, enterococcus, and Pseudomonas.

In addition to drug-resistant enterococcus bacteria, scientists have grown increasingly concerned about the rise of another microbe, staphylococcus aureas, that has outwitted most antibiotics.

Drug-resistant staphylococcus is a major problem for hospitals and, Dr. Paulsen said, one or two strains had "virtually certainly gained resistance genes from an enterococcus."

Chloramphenicol is also effective against 'Enterococcus faecium', which has led to it being considered for treatment of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus.

Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE)

This strain - known by the acronym VREF, for vancomycin-resistant enterococcus faecium - first emerged in 1989, then spread rapidly.

Some examples of cocci are Abiotrophia, Enterococcus, Neisseria, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus.

The bacterium, vancomycin resistant enterococcus, or V.R.E., is a once-benign organism that exists to a certain extent in virtually everyone's gastrointestinal tract.

Most important among them, experts said, are the skin and bloodstream infections and pneumonia caused by a deadly bacteria, enterococcus faecium, that does not succumb to vancomycin.

By 1997, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, half of all enterococcus faecium germs could not be attacked by vancomycin.

Infectious agents that cause cholecystitis include E. coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, B. fragilis and Enterococcus.

Dakin's is a topical, broad spectrum antimicrobial, effective against MRSA, Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus, and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococcus, are an increasing problem worldwide, causing intractable woundinfections.

The large intestine, in addition to candida(yeast), plays host to around 300 types of microbiota, including Klebsiella, enterococcus, E. coli, proteus, bifidobacterium, bacteroids, and many may more.

In 2005, L. rhamnosus GG was first successfully used to treat gastrointestinal carriage of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) in renal patients.

Both bacteria are found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals, but the federal Environmental Protection Agency determined that enterococcus was a better predictor for detecting pathogens linked to swimming-related illnesses.

Common bacteria are Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Enterococcus, Serratia, and Staphylococcus aureus.

Antibiotic use in food animal production has been associated with the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria including 'Salmonella' spp., 'Campylobacter' spp., 'Escherichia coli', and 'Enterococcus' spp.

That does not mean bacteria cannot become resistant to Zyvox; Dr. Chikami, the drug agency official, said that during clinical testing, a few patients' vancomycin-resistant enterococcus infections also became resistant to Zyvox.

Dr. McBride explained that sewage balls, which are found in beach and river waters throughout the United States, are filled with the enterococcus bacterium, which is related to streptococcus, and can produce gastrointestinal illnesses.

The enterococcus family of bacteria, which like the staphylococci cause blood poisoning in hospital patients, have broken even that barrier; in July, more than half the acute-care hospitals in New Jersey reported enterococci resistant to vancomycin.
