V-161, a novel compound targeting the Na+ -V-ATPase enzyme in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), significantly reduces bacterial growth and colonization. A recent study has demonstrated ...

A drug-resistant strain of bacteria inhabiting hospital settings has evolved to utilize an antimicrobial genetic tool. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) is responsible for many lethal ...

C. difficile infection recurrence rates were numerically lower with vancomycin than with placebo, though the difference was not significant. However, the results could be clinically meaningful, an ...

Theresa Wagner has studied enterococci and antibiotic resistance for several years. Here she is photographed in connection with another research project on enterococci. Creating new vaccines is one of ...
