Enterococcus faecium: from microbiological insights to practical recommendations for infection control and diagnostics.

Antimicrobial resistance and infection control - 10 Aug 2020

Zhou Xuewei, Willems Rob J L, Friedrich Alexander W, Rossen John W A, Bathoorn Erik

Abstract excerpt

Early in its evolution, Enterococcus faecium acquired traits that allowed it to become a successful nosocomial pathogen. E. faecium inherent tenacity to build resistance to antibiotics and environmental stressors that allows the species to thrive in hospital environments. The continual wide use of antibiotics in medicine has been an important driver in the evolution of E. faecium becoming a highly proficient...
