1. Molecular epidemiology of clinical Enterococcus faecium
Sammanfattning : Enterococci are today the third most commonly isolated species from bloodstream infections, and problems with ampicillin and vancomycin resistance are increasing. Some putative virulence factors such as the enterococcal surface protein (Esp) and hyaluronidase (Hyl) have been described in Enterococcus faecium. LÄS MER
2. Battling Bacterial Biofilm - antibiotic regimens targeting Grampositive pathogens in biofilm
Sammanfattning : AbstractBacteria in most environments encase themselves in a hydrated matrix of polysaccharide and protein, forming organized communities called biofilms. In the biofilm bacteria are protected against hostile environments. Biofilms are important clinically because of their persistence despite host defence and their recalcitrance to antimicrobials.

3. RAPD and REA for Characterization of Lactobacillus plantarum strains, and Enterococcus spp. with Special Reference to Enterococcus spp. from Meat and Humans
Sammanfattning : Restriction Endonuclease Analysis (REA) was used to characterize strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lb. pentosus, and Lb. reuteri. This method was shown to be a powerful tool for separation at the species and strain level. LÄS MER
4. Different roles of Enterococcus faecium from a human perspective
Sammanfattning : Food supplements containing viable bacteria, so called probiotics, have been suggested to have beneficial health effects due to their influence on the normal microflora. However, there has been safety concern regarding probiotics containing Enterococcus faecium. LÄS MER
5. Perspectives on urban wastewater as a source of microbial pollution
Sammanfattning : Wastewater treatment plants are important links for dissemination of intestinal bacteria into surface waters. In this study, twelve mallards were exposed to treated wastewater for a period of 55 days. Faecal samples were collected and analysed for Enterococcus spp. and C. LÄS MER
