Researchers have engineered a plasmid to remove an antibiotic resistance gene from the Enterococcus faecalis bacterium, an accomplishment that could lead to new methods for combating antibiotic ...

A study published in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy demonstrates that CRISPR/Cas9-encoding delivery plasmids can be successfully used for combating antibiotic resistance in Enterococcus ...

Sali Morris receives funding from the GW4 BioMed MRC DTP. The funding is for basic research into the regulatory networks that control antibiotic resistance in Enterococcus faecalis. James S. Horton ...

These bacteria can sometimes cause infections. Vancomycin is an antibiotic that is often used to treat infections caused by Enterococci. In some instances, Enterococci have become resistant to this ...

Researchers published the full genetic timeline of the bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis showing the influence of human behaviour on the development of different strains. Modern hospitals and ...

A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have challenged the widely held assumption in infectious disease research that blocking ...

Researchers have revealed how a common bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), releases lactic acid to acidify its surroundings and suppress the immune-cell signal needed to start a proper ...

Researchers at Umeå University in Sweden published a study “Breaking barriers: pCF10 type 4 secretion system relies on a self-regulating muramidase to modulate the cell wall” in mBIO that describes ...
