  2. Enterococcus faecium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterococcus_faecium

    Enterococcus faecium has been a leading cause of multi-drug resistant enterococcal infections over Enterococcus faecalis in the United States. Approximately 40% of medical intensive care units reportedly found that the majority, respectively 80% and 90.4%, of device-associated infections (namely, infections due to central lines, urinary drainage catheters, and ventilators) were due to ...

    Altered target sites of antibiotic [8] Efflux mechanisms to remove antibiotics [9] Increased mutation rate as a stress response [10] Many different bacteria now exhibit multi-drug resistance, including staphylococci, enterococci, gonococci, streptococci, salmonella, as well as numerous other Gram-negative bacteria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

  7. Enterococcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterococcus

    Enterococcus is a large genus of lactic acid bacteria of the phylum Bacillota. Enterococci are Gram-positive cocci that often occur in pairs ( diplococci ) or short chains, and are difficult to distinguish from streptococci on physical characteristics alone. [ 2 ]

  8. Dalfopristin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalfopristin

    Efflux or active transport of the drug may occur in coagulase-negative staphylococci and Enterococcus faecium. Constitutive ribosome modification has been seen in staphylococci with resistance seen in quinupristin only. [citation needed]

    Resistance to vancomycin in E. faecalis is becoming more common. [16] [17] Treatment options for vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis include nitrofurantoin (in the case of uncomplicated UTIs), [18] linezolid, quinupristin, tigecycline [15] and daptomycin, although ampicillin is preferred if the bacteria are susceptible.
