Enterococci are the second most common Gram-positive pathogen responsible for
nosocomial infections. Due to the limited number of new antibiotics that reach the medical …

Between 2010 and 2015 the incidence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE
fm) in Norway increased dramatically. Hence, we selected (1) a random subset of …

Gene duplications are a feature of bacterial genomes. In the present work we analyze the
extent of gene duplications in the genomes of three microorganisms that belong to the …

Enterococcus faecium is a frequent causative agent of nosocomial infection mainly acquired
from outgoing hospital patients (Hospital Acquired Infection—HAIs). They are largely …

Abstract Introduction: Nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely studied as an alternative to
antibiotic use due to their antimicrobial properties at lower concentrations. Enterococcus …

Glycerol (Gly) can be dissimilated by two pathways in bacteria. Either this sugar alcohol is
first oxidized to dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and then phosphorylated or it is first …

In the human gut, temperate bacteriophages interact with bacteria through predation and
horizontal gene transfer. Relying on taxonomic data, metagenomic studies have associated …

Many antibiotics and antimicrobial agents have the bacterial cell envelope as their primary
target, interfering with functions such as synthesis of peptidoglycan, membrane stability and …

[EN] Multidrug-resistant bacteria, such as vancomycin-resistant-Enterococcus (VRE), are an
increasing problem in hospitalized patients. Some VRE strains can be resistant to most …
