New Insights into the Enterococcus faecium and Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus Host Interaction Mechanisms

Abstract: Enterococcus faecium and Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus (S. gallolyticus) were classically clustered into the Lancefield Group D streptococci and despite their taxonomic reclassification still share a similar genetic content and environment. Both species are considered as opportunistic pathogens. E. faecium is often associated with nosocomial bacteraemia, and S. gallolyticus is sporadically found in endocarditis of colorectal cancer patients. In both cases, the source of infection is commonly e… Show more

“…Enterococcus faecium is a Gram-positive bacterium inhabiting the intestinal tract of humans and animals. This multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogen is commonly associated with invasive nosocomial infections such as complicated urinary tract infection (UTI), bacteremia, and infective endocarditis ( 1 ). An E. faecium sequence type 18 (ST18) strain, ST-18:K073, was isolated from the urine of a 25-year-old female tuberculosis patient diagnosed with UTI in a hospital in South Africa (Pretoria) in 2013.…”

“…Источник бактериемии, вызванной S. gallolyticus подтип gallolyticus и Enterococcus faecium, обычно эндогенный, связан с проникновением микроорганизмов через кишечный барьер, или для энтерококка -через слизистые мочевыводящих путей [47]. По одной из гипотез S. bovis / S. gallolyticus является нормальным компонентом микрофлоры кишечника и может попадать в кровоток из-за повреждения слизистой оболочки при опухоли кишечника [30,31].…”

“…По одной из гипотез S. bovis / S. gallolyticus является нормальным компонентом микрофлоры кишечника и может попадать в кровоток из-за повреждения слизистой оболочки при опухоли кишечника [30,31]. S. bovis / S. gallo lyticus и энтерококки в эксперименте могут повреждать монослой кишечного эпителия, проникать через него, прилипают к поверхностям, покрытым фибрином, и образуют биопленку [47][48][49]. Эти особенности микроорганизмов частично объясняют способность вызывать бактериемию и образование вегетаций на эндокарде [47].…”
