Microbe-Metabolite Associations Linked to the Rebounding Murine Gut Microbiome Postcolonization with Vancomycin-Resistant <named-content content-type="genus-species">Enterococcus faecium</named-content>
ABSTRACT Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) is an emerging antibiotic-resistant pathogen. Strain-level investigations are beginning to reveal the molecular mechanisms used by VREfm to colonize regions of the human bowel. However, the role of commensal bacteria during VREfm colonizatio...
