  • Title: Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis endocarditis: linezolid failure and strain characterization of virulence factors.
    Author: Tsigrelis C, Singh KV, Coutinho TD, Murray BE, Baddour LM.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2007 Feb; 45(2):631-5. PubMed ID: 17182759.
    Abstract:
    Infective endocarditis due to vancomycin-resistant (VR) Enterococcus faecalis has only rarely been reported. We report a case of VR E. faecalis endocarditis that failed to respond to linezolid therapy, outline the virulence traits of the isolate, and review previously published cases of VR E. faecalis endocarditis.
