Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is emerging as the next potential pandemic. Different
microorganisms, including the bacteria Acinetobacter baumannii, Clostridioides difficile …

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) enterococci are important nosocomial pathogens and a growing
clinical challenge. These organisms have developed resistance to virtually all antimicrobials …

The genus Enterococcus includes some of the most important nosocomial multidrug-
resistant organisms, and these pathogens usually affect patients who are debilitated by …

Gram-positive organisms, including the pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus
pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis, have dynamic cell envelopes that mediate …

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is an important cell wall polymer found in gram-positive bacteria.
Although the exact role of LTA is unknown, mutants display significant growth and …

Abstract Abstract| Most Gram-positive bacteria incorporate membrane-or peptidoglycan-
attached carbohydrate-based polymers into their cell envelopes. Such cell-wall …

Cell surface carbohydrates have been proven optimal targets for vaccine development.
Conjugation of polysaccharides to a carrier protein triggers a T-cell-dependent immune …

The enterococci are Gram-positive lactic acid bacteria that inhabit the gastrointestinal tracts
of diverse hosts. However, Enterococcus faecium and E. faecalis have emerged as leading …

Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium have emerged as multi-resistant
nosocomial pathogens in immunocompromised and critically ill patients. Multi-resistant …

Many bacterial species produce capsular polysaccharides that contribute to pathogenesis
through evasion of the host innate immune system. The gram-positive pathogen …
