Based on these findings, they developed a simple, sensitive and robust test for the genus Enterobacter, which now enables targeted antibiotic therapy for the various Enterobacter species.

Abstract Enterobacter cloacae is a Gram-negative bacterium associated with high morbidity and mortality in intensive care patients due to its resistance to multiple antibiotics.

Based on these findings, they developed a simple, sensitive and robust test for the genus Enterobacter, which now enables targeted antibiotic therapy for the various Enterobacter species.

A new study from Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) has shown how the antibiotic-resistant bacteria Enterobacter can hide in human cells without alerting the body’s immune system.
