E. faecalis is responsible for numerous nosocomial infections in hospitals. The increase in devices such as IVs and catheters is linked to the leading cause of infections. They are mostly isolated from human intestine samples. They are normal inhabitants of urinary tract infections, bacteremia, meningitis and wounds. These infections mainly occur after abdominal surgery. Urinary tract infections are said to be the third most common illness caused by E. faecalis can cause. Urinary tract infection, also known as a UTI, is an infection of any part of your urinary system. This includes your kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. However, UTIs become serious when they spread to the kidneys. Urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria enters the urinary tract and begins to reproduce in the bladder. When this happens, bacteria can take over and develop into a urinary tract infection. There are two types of bladder infections: one is cystitis, a type of urinary tract infection usually caused by E. coli, a bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tract. It can also be acquired during sexual intercourse, but not always. Women's body structure is always exposed to this type of bladder infection due to the distance between the urethra and the bladder. Another bladder infection is urethritis, a type of urinary tract infection that can occur when bacteria from the gestational tract spread from the anus to the urethra. It also leads to sexual infections, such as herpes, gonorrhea and chlamydia. Women are at greater risk of developing a urinary tract infection than men. Signs and symptoms of a UTI may include a strong urge to urinate accompanied by a burning sensation when urinating. A person with a urinary tract infection tends to urinate frequently and in small amounts. Urine also appears cloudy; a sign of blood in the urine with a strong odor....... middle of paper ......lycosides and sometimes vancomycin are said to be a drug resistant to E. faecalis. However, with disinfectants, E. faecalis is resistant to hydrogen peroxide and sensitive to alcohol. This pathogen is inactive or destroyed when at a temperature above 80 degrees Celsius. Outside of the host, E. faecalis can survive in a harsh environment including plants, soil, water and food. They can also tolerate long periods of food deprivation. Antibiotic resistance, also known as optochin, makes it difficult to treat an infection caused by E. faecalis. In conclusion, E. faecalis can cause serious, life-threatening illnesses in humans and mammals, particularly in our healthcare environments. Their resistance to antibiotics has increased and they are also becoming very difficult for doctors to treat. Recently, more powerful and specific antibiotics have been developed..
