An international team led by scientists from MSK has shown for the first time that foods containing lactose, a sugar that’s naturally found in milk and dairy products, help Enterococcus thrive in the ...

A new study led by a research team from Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School describes how bacteria adapted to the modern hospital environment and repeatedly cause antibiotic-resistant ...

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 ...

Research demonstrates a method to prevent MRSA and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci infections in patients with medical devices. A new study based on a recently developed form of clinical trial has ...

A short time to positivity (TTP), the period from incubation to blood culture positivity, may help predict mortality rates for patients with Enterococcus faecalis and vancomycin-sensitive E faecium ...

A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular “slime” when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present. The finding could ...

DETROIT -- Researchers at Wayne State University recently received federal funding to look at new ways to treat an antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The nearly $430,000 grant went to a team led by ...
