Enterococcus Faecalis
My Microbe Section:
Enterococcus Faecalis is considered an aspect of the Gram-Positive coccus as well as the facultative anaerobes that are mainly manifested in the form of human intestinal commensal. Together with other forms of enterococci, Enterococcus Faecalis can produce oxygen-free radicals that have a genetic vulnerability host for the induction of chronic inflation. This would be considered appropriate for the advancement of CRC, as demonstrated in an interleukin-10 model of the mice (Kau et al., 2005). The byproduct undergoes an interaction with the membrane of lipophilic of cells found in colonic epithelial for the production of the fatty acids that can result in the genomic stress.
Enterococcus Faecalis have been for a long time viewed as critical human pathogens and are getting more considered as critical human pathogens. Enterococcus Faecalis can lead to multiple infections that are complicated, such as in the abdominal, urinary tract, among others. Enterococcus Faecalis comprises a natural as well as acquire immunity generated from the treatment of antibiotics, and this implies that it stands as one of the bacteria that is resistant to the antibiotics (Neelakantan et al., 2018). It is considered to tolerate different conditions, including survival in a wide array of temperatures as well as acidic or the environment that alkaline.
Enterococcus Faecalis, according to Kau et al. (2005), are able to survive temperatures of 60oC for a short time and tend to grow in cases where there is high growth in the concentration of the salt. They are mainly dissected through their morphological attribute on Gram stain along with the fact that they grow in chains and their capacity of hydrolyzing esculin when it positioned in the bile. When a model of the mouse in the form of a urinary tract infection is utilized, it is able to persist in the kidney for not less than two weeks.
