Scientists have discovered that a common fungus and a common bacterium can combine to cause much worse injuries to living ...

Publication from professor Kline's lab on Enterococcus faecalis. This study demonstrates that Enterococcus faecalis exploits ...

Researchers have revealed how a common bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), releases lactic acid to acidify its surroundings and suppress the immune-cell signal needed to start a proper ...

Chronic wound infections are often difficult to treat, partly due to bacteria like Enterococcus faecalis. This study shows that this bacterium can live inside human cells, where it is protected from ...

An international team of scientists, headed by a team at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new way that could speed up the healing of chronic wounds ...

A mouse wound infection model demonstrated that wounds infected with E. faecalis had dampened immunity, allowing E. faecalis to persist and even enabling co-infecting bacteria like E. coli to thrive.

An open wound is the perfect playground for bacteria – but some of these bacteria are actually helpful. Researchers found that Alcaligenes faecalis – named as such because it was originally discovered ...

Scientists may soon turn to bacteria originally found in feces to help cure chronic wounds more quickly. An open wound, for example, is a perfect little breeding pool for bacteria. But not all ...

Modern hospital care and antibiotics are not solely responsible for the antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains that exist today, according to a study published March 9 in Nature Communications.

Chronic wound infections are notoriously difficult to manage because some bacteria can actively interfere with the body's ...
