Domination of tammy

Description:Mammalian gastrointestinal mucosal surfaces are inhabited by microbial populations, which, in aggregate, are referred to as the microbiota 4 — 7. Once established, VRE remained a dominant member of the microbiota upon cessation of antibiotic treatment. Stool pellets, cecum contents, and ileum wall and contents were harvested in 6 mice immediately following the 7-day treatment, while another 6 mice were switched back to antibiotic-free water for 2 weeks of recovery before harvesting the samples. Abstract Bloodstream infection by highly antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus VRE , is a growing clinical problem that increasingly defies medical intervention. Thus, the intestinal microbiota promotes resistance to infection with highly antibiotic-resistant bacteria by inducing the production of antimicrobial peptides by intestinal epithelial cells.
