| enumeration and speciation of enterococci found in marine and intertidal sediments and coastal water in southern california. | to determine the levels and species distribution of enterococci in intertidal and marine sediments and coastal waters at two beaches frequently in violation of bacterial water standards. | 2005 | 16108802 |
| microbiological evaluation of fecal bacterial composition from surface water through aquifer sand material. | when bacterial pathogens from livestock contaminate drinking water supplies, they can cause different forms of gastroenteritis. the objective of this study was to enumerate the concentrations of fecal indicator (escherichia coli and enterococci) in surface water in order to determine removal efficiency by sand filtration. the concentrations of different indicator bacterial species were determined after running tertiary treated water through two tanks containing aquifer material. enterococcus fae ... | 2008 | 19108562 |
| lynamicins a-e, chlorinated bisindole pyrrole antibiotics from a novel marine actinomycete. | a series of chlorinated bisindole pyrroles, lynamicins a-e (1-5), was discovered from a novel marine actinomycete, nps12745, which was isolated from a marine sediment collected off the coast of san diego, california. close to full length 16s rrna sequence analysis indicated that nps12745 is a novel strain of a recently described marine actinomycete with the proposed genus name marinispora. the antimicrobial spectrum of these compounds was evaluated against a panel of 11 pathogens, which demonstr ... | 2008 | 18842058 |
| vancomycin-resistant enterococcus spp. in marine environments from the west coast of the usa. | the aim of the study was to determine if vancomycin-resistant enterococcus spp. [vre] carrying vana and/or vanb genes were present in public marine beaches and a fishing pier [2001-2003, 2008] from washington and california [2008]. | 2009 | 19239547 |
| are clinical laboratories in california accurately reporting vancomycin-resistant enterococci? | in order to determine whether hospital-based clinical laboratories conducting active surveillance for vancomycin-resistant enterococci in three san francisco bay area counties (san francisco, alameda, and contra costa counties) were accurately reporting vancomycin resistance, five vancomycin-resistant enterococcal strains and one vancomycin-susceptible beta-lactamase-producing enterococcus were sent to 31 of 32 (97%) laboratories conducting surveillance. each strain was tested by the laboratory' ... | 1997 | 9316901 |
| epidemiologic analysis and genotypic characterization of a nosocomial outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococci. | we are reporting on a nosocomial outbreak of 213 cases of vancomycin-resistant enterococcus infection involving 2,812 enterococcal isolates from patients over a period of 36 months. in 1990, the enterococcus faecium vancomycin susceptibility rate was found to be 85.7% (36 of 42 cases), and an incidence of 10.9% (42 of 383) was noted. the 1991 data showed e. faecium with a vancomycin susceptibility rate of 61.8% (110 of 178) and an incidence of 26.0% (178 of 684). subsequently, in 1992, the incid ... | 1993 | 8501230 |
| distribution and diversity of the enterococcal surface protein (esp) gene in animal hosts and the pacific coast environment. | this study sought to evaluate the distribution of the enterococcal surface protein (esp) gene in enterococcus faecium in the pacific coast environment as well as the distribution and diversity of the gene in northern california animal hosts. | 2009 | 19187132 |
