Two vanB2 Enterococcus faecium strains were typed by multi-locus-sequence-typing and both were ascribed to the CC17 clonal complex with two sequence-types
(ST78 and ST17-like). All seven vancomycin-resistant and ciprofloxacin-resistant E. faecium strains showed ampicillin resistance (MIC 32-256 mg/L), identifying the following amino acid changes in PBP5 protein: Q461K, V462K, H470Q, M485A, N496K, A499T, E525D, N546T, A558T, G582S, K632Q, P642L, E629V and P667S, together with a serine insertion at position 466. The 12 Enterococcus gallinarum and Enterococcus casseliflavus isolates included in the study exhibited an MIC for ciprofloxacin in the range 0.5-16 mg/L and no amino acid changes were identified in GyrA or ParC proteins. Specific mutations in gyrA and parC genes
are associated with fluoroquinolone resistance in E. faecium and E. durans Small Molecule Compound Library of different origins.”

It was speculated that the use of heavily oxidized vegetable fats (abused fats) could have been responsible.
Objectives: The objectives were to investigate the relation between plasma total PUFA concentrations (a marker of PUFA intake) and liver enzymes in HIV-infected asymptomatic compared with HIV-uninfected black South Africans and to investigate the reuse of oil and the
use of abused oils.
Design: This was a case-control study nested in an epidemiologic study in 305 HIV-infected cases and 301 HIV-uninfected matched controls (matched according to location, sex, and age), as part of the PURE (Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology) Study, a prospective cohort study that includes a representative sample of 2000 apparently healthy black volunteers, aged between 36 and 60 y, from the North West Province of Prexasertib South Africa.
Results: Plasma total omega-6 PUFA concentrations were negatively (P < 0.05) associated with liver enzymes (gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotranferase, and alkaline phosphatase) in both HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected subjects (r values ranged from -20.22 to -0.56). Almost all subjects (99%) reported that they did not buy oil that had been used before. Oil was only used a mean (+/- SD) of 2.23 +/- 0.85 times for deep frying before being discarded.
Conclusions: The adverse relations between omega-6 PUFA intake and liver enzymes that were previously shown could not be confirmed in this study. In contrast, plasma omega-6 PUFA concentration was inversely related to liver enzymes in both HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected subjects. Subjects in this study did not use abused fats, which could partly explain these findings. Am J Clin Nutr 2010; 91: 729-35.
