The relative importance of human and animal sources of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium in immunocompromised patients in hospital
Enterococcus faecium is a leading cause of hospital-acquired infection, disproportionally affecting immunocompromised and critically ill patients. Despite infection control measures, rates of vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VREfm) bacteraemias have failed to decline in the United Kingdom, and …

Library Screening and Focused Multiomics of Antibacterial Action on Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci faecium
… target for many antibiotics to inhibit bacteria. Enterococcus species are gram-positive bacteria of the intestine in humans and animals that can lead to problematic infections of the gastrointestinal tract and the soft tissues. Vancomycin has been one of most important agents for the treatment of …

Investigating physiological and genetic characteristics of community acquired infections and potential antimicrobial interventions
Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus sp. infections occur in hospital and, increasingly, in community settings, with the potential of having different susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of antimicrobial agents against community acquired …
