Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) are increasingly important pathogens in stem cell transplant (SCT). In all, 61 pediatric SCT patients had surveillance stool cultures for VRE between July 1999 ...
We prospectively surveyed for rectal colonization with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus among 93 high-risk pediatric patients who were hospitalized at least 5 (median, 20) days. Fifty-two patients ...
Antimicrobials with the potential to act as immune stimulators and overcome bacterial resistance are emerging as important alternative approaches to fighting antimicrobial resistance The novel ...
Antibiotic exposure and dirty hands were factors linked to nursing home contamination with the multidrug-resistant bacteria vancomycin-resistant Enterococci, or VRE, a new study finds. The report was ...
In a recent review published in the Microorganisms Journal, researchers reviewed existing data on the use of probiotics and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) against multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, ...
A drug-resistant strain of bacteria inhabiting hospital settings has evolved to utilize an antimicrobial genetic tool. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) is responsible for many lethal ...
The incidence of enterococcal infections has been increasing over the past few years, with rising rates of multidrug resistance. VRE is increasingly a problem in many hospitals and intensive care ...
Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, particularly for immunocompromised patients, who are at greater risk of serious infections. Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from ...
