Enterococcal Surface Protein Esp Is Important for Biofilm Formation of <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> E1162

8 Sept 2007

Abstract excerpt

Enterococci have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens with resistance to multiple antibiotics. Adhesion to abiotic materials and biofilm formation on medical devices are considered important virulence properties. A single clonal lineage of Enterococcus faecium, complex 17 (CC17), appears to be a successful nosocomial pathogen, and most CC17 isolates harbor the enterococcal surface protein gene, esp. In this...
