Dynamics of Enterococcus faecalis Colonization of Bone Marrow Transplant Patients (1997)
Book Chapter

Enterococci have become increasingly important as a cause of hospital acquired infections. They are reported to be the third commonest cause of hospital acquired infections, responsible for approximately 10.7% of such infections. Furthermore, enteroc...

PCR Typing of Enterococcus faecium (1997)
Book Chapter
Morrison, D., Jones, B., Egleton, C., & Cookson, B. D. (1997). PCR Typing of Enterococcus faecium. In Streptococci and the Host (387-391). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4899-1825-3_93

In the last two decades enterococci, especially E. faecium, have emerged as a major cause of nosocomial infection. A knowledge of their epidemiology within the hospital environment is crucial for the implementation of effective infection control meas... Read More about PCR Typing of Enterococcus faecium.

Comparison of PCR with Phenotypic Methods for the Speciation of Enterococci (1997)
Book Chapter

In recent years, enterococci have emerged as an important cause of hospital infections, particularly in patients with serious underlying disease. There are currently 17 recognized species in the genus Enterococcus, although E. faecalis and E. faecium...

Strains of Glycopeptide-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Can Alter Their van Genotypes during an Outbreak (1997)
Journal Article
Woodford, N., Chadwick, P. R., Morrison, D., & Cookson, B. D. (1997). Strains of Glycopeptide-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Can Alter Their van Genotypes during an Outbreak. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 35(11), 2966-2968

Two isolates of Enterococcus faecium with VanA glycopeptide resistance were isolated during a hospital outbreak of E. faecium with plasmid-mediated VanB resistance. Both were found to be identical to the VanB outbreak strain by pulsed-field gel elect...
