Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) are increasingly important pathogens in stem cell transplant (SCT). In all, 61 pediatric SCT patients had surveillance stool cultures for VRE between July 1999 ...

We studied the prevalence of recurrent vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bacteremia, predisposing factors, and strain relatedness during a 3 year period at our institution. Of 36 inpatients who ...

We prospectively surveyed for rectal colonization with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus among 93 high-risk pediatric patients who were hospitalized at least 5 (median, 20) days. Fifty-two patients ...

Antimicrobials with the potential to act as immune stimulators and overcome bacterial resistance are emerging as important alternative approaches to fighting antimicrobial resistance The novel ...

A drug-resistant strain of bacteria inhabiting hospital settings has evolved to utilize an antimicrobial genetic tool. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) is responsible for many lethal ...

In a recent review published in the Microorganisms Journal, researchers reviewed existing data on the use of probiotics and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) against multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, ...

Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) is among the leading causes of hospital-acquired infections in the United States. An estimated 20,000 people in the U.S. become infected with it each year, and ...

Drug-resistant superbugs, already a big problem in hospitals, may have learned a new trick, researchers reported Wednesday. They may have evolved resistance to alcohol — the ingredient in hand ...

Antibiotic resistance is a major concern, particularly for immunocompromised patients, who are at greater risk of serious infections. Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from ...

Antibiotics are one of the most important medical breakthroughs of the last century, but decades of overuse means bacteria are quickly developing resistance to them. Now, a team of scientists has ...
