Enterococcus faecalis is a species of bacteria that is naturally found in the intestines. While it tends to be harmless in that environment, it has the potential to cause a serious infection if it ...

A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular "slime" when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present. The finding could ...

Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) is an infection that happens when Enterococci bacteria — which live in the the gut and bowel — become too numerous or spread to other parts of the body. It can ...

Acute graft-versus-host disease occurs when donor immune cells attack the recipient's tissues after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Researchers recently identified a ...

A new study describes how bacteria adapted to the modern hospital environment and repeatedly cause antibiotic-resistant bloodstream infections. This study examined one of the first sustained hospital ...

Allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation is a mainstay of treatment for hematologic cancers, and the gut microbiota — the collection of archaea, bacteria, fungi, protists, and viruses that reside ...

Enterococcus faecalis is a common bacterium that, in most people, is found in the intestinal tract and doesn't cause harm to the host. However, if someone is immunocompromised and this bacterium gets ...

SINGAPORE: More frequent readings of elevated Enterococcus bacteria levels at two Singapore beaches have prompted authorities to advise people against swimming there. The National Environment Agency ...

Identification of bacteriophage-derived enzyme and its antibacterial activity can contribute to novel therapies that target biofilm-forming bacteria and help in the treatment against acute ...

A new study led by a research team from Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School describes how bacteria adapted to the modern hospital environment and repeatedly cause antibiotic-resistant ...
