Abstract
Pathogenic enterococci carry virulence factors and a considerable resistome, which makes them one of the most serious and steadily increasing causes of hospital epidemiological risks. Accordingly,
Enterococcus faecium
is classified into a top-priority ESKAPE (
Enterococcus faecium
,
Staphylococcus aureus
,
Klebsiella pneumoniae
,
Acinetobacter baumannii
,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
, and
Enterobacter
species) group of six highly virulent and multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens for which novel antimicrobial agents need to be developed urgently.
