Genes Contributing to the Unique Biology and Intrinsic Antibiotic Resistance of Enterococcus faecalis
23 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Enterococci are leading causes of antibiotic-resistant infection transmitted in hospitals. The intrinsic hardiness of these organisms allows them to survive disinfection practices and then proliferate in the gastrointestinal tracts of antibiotic-treated patients. The objective of this study was to identify the underlying genetic basis for its unusual hardiness. Using a functional genomic approach, we identified...
