Characterization of Class IIa Bacteriocin Resistance in Enterococcus faecium.

Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy - 1 Apr 2017

Geldart Kathryn, Kaznessis Yiannis N

Abstract excerpt

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci, particularly resistant Enterococcus faecium, pose an escalating threat in nosocomial environments because of their innate resistance to many antibiotics, including vancomycin, a treatment of last resort. Many class IIa bacteriocins strongly target these enterococci and may offer a potential alternative for the management of this pathogen. However, E. faecium's resistance to these...
