Microbiome-mediated fructose depletion restricts murine gut colonization by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus

Abstract excerpt

Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) are a major threat to public health. MDRO infections, including those caused by vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), frequently begin by colonization of the intestinal tract, a crucial step that is impaired by the intestinal microbiota. However, the specific members of the microbiota that suppress MDRO colonization and the mechanisms of such protection are largely unknown....
