DOI: 10.1016/j.foodcont.2019.107033
Abstract: Abstract The ability of four enterococcal strains to survive human digestion and maintain their antibiotic resistance (AR) traits was investigated to determine the health risk posed by seafood-borne streptomycin-, erythromycin-, tetracycline- and gentamycin-resistant enterococci. After… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acschembio.7b00412
Abstract: Drug-resistant bacterial infections threaten to overburden our healthcare system and disrupt modern medicine. A large class of potent antibiotics, including vancomycin, operate by interfering with bacterial cell wall biosynthesis. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) evade the blockage… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/1120009x.2022.2031470
Abstract: Abstract We retrospectively studied 16 (3 colonization and 13 infections) early post-liver transplant (≤60-day after transplantation) patients with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) colonization/infection from 2016 to 2019. All VRE isolates were Enterococcus faecium. Of 13 patients… read more here.
