Enterococcus spp. : entre pathogènes opportunistes et probiotiques
@inproceedings{Isnard2017EnterococcusS, title={Enterococcus spp. : entre pathog{\`e}nes opportunistes et probiotiques}, author={C. Isnard}, year={2017} }
Les enterocoques, sont des bacteries commensales du tube digestif de l’homme et des animaux, mais certaines especes, comme Enterococcus faecium, sont aussi des pathogenes opportunistes majeurs souvent multi-resistants aux antibiotiques. Nous avons etudie l’impact de molecules non antibiotiques utilisees dans les unites de soins intensifs, sur la virulence et la resistance d’une souche clinique de E. faecium par une approche microscopique, une analyse du peptidoglycane et une analyse…

Antibiotic resistance in Enterococcus faecium clinical isolates
- Biology, MedicineExpert review of anti-infective therapy
- 2014
It is noteworthy that most modern isolates of E. faecium are highly resistant to ampicillin while a non-negligible proportion of them (depending on geographical locations) are resistant to glycopeptides (especially in the USA).
Bactericidal Activities of Two Daptomycin Regimens against Clinical Strains of Glycopeptide Intermediate-ResistantStaphylococcus aureus, Vancomycin-ResistantEnterococcus faecium, and Methicillin-ResistantStaphylococcus aureus Isolates in an In Vitro Pharmacodynamic Model with Simulated Endocardial V

The complete 3.0-Mb genome sequence of the multilocus sequence type 17 vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strain Aus0004, isolated from the bloodstream of a patient in Melbourne, Australia, in 1998, is reported.
The rise of the Enterococcus: beyond vancomycin resistance

Although control of VRE is challenging, a laissez-faire policy would result in an increased number of infections and would create an irreversible situation, and dissemination of glycopeptide-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with van genes acquired from resistant enterococci cannot be ruled out.
Emergence of Epidemic Multidrug-Resistant Enterococcus faecium from Animal and Commensal Strains

The epidemic hospital-adapted lineage is rapidly evolving and emerged approximately 75 years ago, concomitant with the introduction of antibiotics, from a population that included the majority of animal strains, and not from human commensal lines.
AsrR Is an Oxidative Stress Sensing Regulator Modulating Enterococcus faecium Opportunistic Traits, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Pathogenicity

Deletion of asrR was associated with a decreased oxidative stress resistance in vitro, which correlated with a reduced resistance to phagocytic killing by murine macrophages, and both strains showed similar amounts of intracellular reactive oxygen species.

Eperezolid and linezolid demonstrated good in vitro inhibitory activity, regardless of methicillin susceptibility for staphylococci or vancomycin susceptibility for enterococci, and were bacteriostatic in action in time-kill studies.

The antifungal caspofungin improves the activity of fluoroquinolones against S. aureus biofilms and indicates that IcaA inhibitors could potentially be useful in the treatment of biofilm-related infections.
