Cryptococcus spp. other than Cryptococcus neoformans or Cryptococcus gattii were
previously considered saprophytes and thought to be non-pathogenic to humans. However …

Materials and Methods The specificity of the assay was tested using reference strains of
vancomycin-resistant and susceptible enterococci. In total, 193 clinical isolates were …

Objectives The aim of the study was to investigate the linezolid activity against clinical Gram-
positive cocci with advanced antimicrobial drug resistance. Methods A collection of …

Background: Infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are associated with
increased mortality and health care costs. Enterococci have been recognized as a clinically …

Methods: 400 clinical Enterococcus isolates were collected from different hospitals in
Tehran, Iran. Standard phenotypic-biochemical tests and PCR were used to identify the …

Background: Enterococci cause infections both in and out of the hospital setting and have
demonstrated resistance to almost all classes of drugs. A combination of cell wall acting …

Multiple drug-resistant enterococci are major cause of healthcare-associated infections due
to their antibiotic resistance traits. Among them, Enterococcus faecalis is an important …

One of the most prevalent infectious diseases identified in both communities and
hospitalized patients is urinary tract infection (UTI). Enterococcus is evolved into a clinically …

Background and aims: Enterococcis are a part of the normal flora of the human
gastrointestinal tract, and play an important role in the spread of resistance genes and …

Enterococcus is a large genus of lactic acid bacteria that have the ability to grow under
