Enterococcus faecium: evolution, adaptation, pathogenesis and emerging therapeutics
The opportunistic pathogen Enterococcus faecium colonizes humans and a wide range of animals, endures numerous stresses, resists antibiotic treatment and stubbornly persists in clinical environments. The widespread application of antibiotics in hospitals and agriculture has contributed to the emergence of vancomycin-resistant E. faecium, which causes many hospital-acquired infections. In this Review, we explore recent discoveries about the evolu…
Antibiotic Resistance: What Can Be Done to Counteract Bacteria that Have Become Insensitive to Drugs
The problem is also worsening for climate change. To enshrine it, we need a global approach that involves everyone and takes into account the many factors involved. If we want to save antibiotics, we need to learn how to use them well
Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and the emergence of new sequence types associated with hospital infection
Enterococcus faecium is a major species in infections by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). New variants of the pathogen have emerged and become …
In this transit, it leaves clues of an invisible but real threat: the global expansion of the resistoma, the set of genes that confer on microorganisms the ability to resist the effects of antibiotics. An evolutionary career that began long before modern medicine, but which today accelerates by human action and a changing climate. “Inadequate use and abuse of antibiotics or poor waste management are some of the main causes of the problem,” Marta…
