Daptomycin for the treatment of bacteraemia due to vancomycin-resistant enterococci
(Elsevier, 2014)
Treatment of severe infections caused by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) is challenging due to the scarcity of reliable therapeutic alternatives. In this context, daptomycin (DAP), a lipopeptide antibiotic, has ...

Treatment of severe infections caused by vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) is challenging due to the scarcity of reliable therapeutic alternatives. In this context, daptomycin (DAP), a lipopeptide antibiotic, has ...
Rapid detection of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) in rectal samples from patients admitted to intensive care units
(Brazilian Society of Infectious Diseases, 2009-08-01)
The reduction in time required to identify vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) has gained increased importance during hospital outbreaks. In the present study, we implemented a laboratory protocol to speed up the VRE ...
Novel Strategies for the Management of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcal Infections
(2019)
Purpose of Review Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are important nosocomial pathogens that commonly affect critically ill patients. VRE have a remarkable genetic plasticity allowing them to acquire genes associated ...
Small hospitals matter: insights from the emergence and spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in 2 public hospitals in inner Brazil
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-07-01)
Although vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are reported in Brazil since 1996, data on their impact over settings of different complexity are scarce. We performed a study aimed at identifying determinants ofVRE emergence ...
Prevalence and factors associated with rectal vancomycin-resistant enterococci colonization in two intensive care units in São Paulo, Brazil
(Brazilian Society of Infectious Diseases, 2005-02-01)
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are important pathogens causing nosocomial infections, and there is reason for concern about their resistance and great ability to spread in hospital environments, especially ...
Changes in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium causing outbreaks in Brazil
(W B SAUNDERS CO LTD, 2011)
Enterococci have been implicated in severe human infections as a consequence of associated determinants of virulence and antimicrobial resistance. The majority of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE(fm)) connected ...
Outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in a tertiary hospital: The lack of effect of measures directed mainly by surveillance cultures and differences in response between Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis
(MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2010)
To describe the effect of active surveillance to control vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) after an outbreak, 549 surveillance rectal cultures were performed in 308 patients (35% positive). An educational intervention ...
Oral bacitracin: A consideration for suppression of intestinal vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and for VRE bacteremia from an apparent gastrointestinal tract source
(Oxford University PressClinical Infectious Diseases, 2015)
