Enterococcus faecalis
As per wiki, "not to be confused with enterococcus faecium." why in god's name are they so similarly named. I do not know. but it does change management.
Faecalis is more susceptible to penicillin and ampicillin. Faecalis is more virulent and more likely to cause IE than faecium. Faecium is also more likely to be resistant to ampicillin and vancomycin --> in the US: 80% to vanc, and 90% resistant to ampicillin.
It's a nosocomial common bug, so there aren't any cool case reports. If you walk into a ward, odds are you'll find someone with this. Not as common as staph or strep though.
Image source: bacteria under the microscope
E. Faecalis is gram positive cocci, (purple spheres), previously part of the streptococcus umbrella - if it makes it easier to remember - both appear in chains or pairs (rather than clusters like staph). Similar to strep it is catalase negative. Facultative anaerobe, so it will grow in both bottles. Faecalis is far more common than faecium, both live in the gut (think faeces). They grow at high salt concentrations, 6% (normal saline on the wards is 0.9%) and are usually non haemolytic.
Key thing to be aware of is that it can be a healthy part of your gut or genital tract but under the right circumstances for it - it can become pathogenic/disease causing. Further key thing: intrinsically resistant to bactericidal antibiotics hence they require synergism between a combination or prolonged duration in severe cases. like IE.
It's considered an opportunistic infection (for the lay public, it means when you're unwell or immunosuppressed, it becomes a problem). Increasingly it is a nosocomial infection (hospital acquired), 60% of cases in the US were acquired in hospital. They survive very harsh environments, including ethanol and can survive 10 mins at 60 degrees celsius and on surfaces from days to months. They are killed at 80 degrees or with 70% ethanol.
Similar to staph and strep, it can cause a variety of infections, including:
Infective endocarditis --> 3rd most common cause, 90% are faecalis other 5% are faecium (after staph aureus and strep viridans), subacute course, now more associated with TAVIs (elderly/frail/multimorbid patients). high mortality, 10-35%
UTIs - cause up to 20% of UTIs, but usually associated in hospital setting and with catheters/devices etc.
wound infections & OM (rarely)
line associated --> always replace lines if you can in sepsis, one cause of bacteraemia is the line
2nd or 3rd most common cause of nosocomial Utis, sepsis and wound infections (less often: diabetic ulcers, prosthetic joints)
less common: meningitis - and usually associated with shunts and neurosurgical procedures --> anything to do with devices and hospital. Mortality risk of 20%
odd association: strongyloides hyperinfection (remember this increases risk for bacteraemia), as post earlier.
sepsis/bacteraemia mortality risk is 25%
bottom line: high mortality in severe disease
Epidemio:
more likely to be found in the elderly populations who are multi-morbid and less independent in their activities of daily living.
Special powers:
No toxins (like staph or strep), but have inherent antibiotic resistance or are amenable to this and are very durable/hardy. Ability to form biofilms - hence attraction to lines and devices and staying there. This limits abx penetration allows them to persist. They gain resistance by their ability to pick up and transfer mobile gene elements like plasmids via conjugation etc. Abx including: cephalosporin, clinda, TMP-SMX, aminoglycosides like gent.
It is becoming more notorious for resistance particularly vancomycin resistant enterococcus faecalis (also not to be confused with VRE - Patients who were recently hospitalised or institutionalized are often swabbed for this, but this is actually E. faecium they're referring to). increased risk for this include previous antibiotics use (eg cephalosporins, vancomycin), due to disrupted gut biome, and exposure risk - more likely to occur if you've been recently hospitalised, require routine access to the wards (i.e. dialysis) etc. Also increased association with devices (like pacemakers), diabetics and stomach acid suppression from PPIs.
Investigations
Relevant imaging i.e. CT for abdominal collections, and culture/staining. sensitivities are an absolute must including aminoglycoside resistance, pencillin and vanco, which most labs will automatically do anyway when it's identified, teams just gotta remember to chase. other possibilities include PCR or 16s rRNA sequencing
Interesting additional work up: Colonoscopies. Some reports are starting to recommending doing this routinely if no source is found in cases of bacteraemia or IE. As there is an increasing association with neoplasms from the gut. Similar to guidelines for strep bovis.
Management
in general UTIs, wound infections etc, most are susceptible to penicillins and ampicillin, so you can treat with either.
Management of beta lactam resistant enterococcus: - resistant against beta lactams --> refer to immunology for desensitisation, vanco is not as effective against enterococci, duration is 6 weeks in severe infection Vanco resistant (your local infectious diseases team will be involved)
daptomycin, linezolid --> equally effective, tigecycline (last resort/salvage)
Treatment in IE --> synergism is key for bacteriocidal effect (durability)
in case of bacteraemia, try the denova calculator to determine risk of IE - Duration of symptoms, Embolizations, Number of positive cultures, Origin, valve disease, and Auscultation murmurs
if susceptible, it's intermittent doses of benzylpenicillin or continuous infusion at 2.4 g IV plus gentamicin (if concerning for kidneys, shorten the duration to 2 weeks) for approx 4-6 weeks --> unless there's high level resistance to aminoglycosides
or if resistant as above options
issue with aminoglycosides -> ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity, requires frequent monitoring and caution in elderly

Looking for Weaknesses
No-one wants to be eaten, and here two types of bacteria, Vibrio cholerae (highlighted in red) and Escherichia coli (yellow) do their best to avoid a predator. A third bacteria called Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus (blue) stalks the perimeter of these bacterial colonies or biofilms, picking off stray E.coli. Researchers watching these tiny sieges spot that V. cholerae are usually able to defend themselves by arranging defensive ‘walls’, but adding em>E.coli. to the mix disrupts these defences. This mixed biofilm give E.coli. sanctuary – they’re more likely to survive attack – but leave V. cholerae more vulnerable – a heroic sacrifice to protect the weak perhaps? The success of these sprawling communities (each around one billion times smaller than a medieval city) also depends on where they grow. As these microbes are potentially hazardous to human health, scientists use clues in these predator-prey studies to spot weaknesses in biofilms in hospitals and public places.

The pepper one is not quite true.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsaicin#Antifungal_properties
Capsaicin acts as an antifungal agent in four primary ways. First, capsaicin inhibits the metabolic rate of the cells that make up the fungal biofilm.[77] This inhibits the area and growth rate of the fungus, since the biofilm creates an area where a fungus can grow and adhere to the chili in which capsaicin is present.[78] Capsaicin also inhibits fungal hyphae formation, which impacts the amount of nutrients that the rest of the fungal body can receive.[79] Thirdly, capsaicin disrupts the structure[80] of fungal cells and the fungal cell membranes. This has consequential negative impacts on the integrity of fungal cells and their ability to survive and proliferate. Additionally, the ergosterol synthesis of growing fungi decreases in relation to the amount of capsaicin present in the growth area. This impacts the fungal cell membrane, and how it is able to reproduce and adapt to stressors in its environment.[81]
"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

Biofilms are communities of bacteria, fungi, and algae that adhere to surfaces and create a protective extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), which serves as a barrier. This structure allows microorganisms to thrive despite basic cleaning efforts. Moisture, organic particles, and environmental exposure all contribute to biofilm formation, especially in high-traffic or humid areas, making windows susceptible.
Common microorganisms in window biofilms include:
Bacteria (e.g., Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus species) known for their resilience and rapid spread.
Algae & Cyanobacteria visible as green or black streaks.
Fungi which can survive in low-nutrient environments, often appearing as black specks or streaks.
The Challenges of Biofilm Growth on Windows
Microorganisms in biofilms communicate via quorum sensing, which enhances their resistance to standard cleaning agents. This behaviour, combined with the EPS barrier, makes biofilms particularly challenging to remove, as traditional cleaning methods often address only the surface grime. Without breaking down the biofilm, it can quickly regenerate, complicating regular maintenance.
Cleaning & Managing Biofilms on Windows
Biofilms require specialised cleaning approaches due to their resilient EPS structure. Professional window cleaner Perth services apply targeted techniques to eliminate biofilms effectively and prevent rapid regrowth. Key strategies include:
Chemical Treatments: Using biofilm-specific agents that penetrate the EPS barrier for effective removal. Enzyme-based cleaners are often preferred as they break down biofilm without harming glass surfaces.
Pressure Washing: Suitable for exterior windows, high-pressure washing removes visible grime but may not fully penetrate thick biofilm layers.
Steam Cleaning: By delivering heat and moisture, steam cleaning helps dislodge biofilm and sanitise the surface, reducing microbial regrowth.
UV Light Treatment: Ultraviolet light disrupts microbial DNA, inhibiting biofilm formation. While this approach is more expensive, it can be effective for properties facing persistent biofilm issues in shaded or humid locations.
Proactive Steps to Prevent Biofilm Formation
Preventive measures can significantly reduce biofilm growth, especially with regular cleaning and environmental controls. Effective biofilm management includes:
Routine Cleaning: Regular window cleaning removes debris, dust, and moisture that promote biofilm growth. In high-rise buildings around Perth, where exposure to urban pollutants is common, consistent maintenance is particularly important.
Hydrophobic Coatings: Applying a hydrophobic coating to glass creates a water-resistant surface that discourages microbial attachment, making windows easier to clean and less prone to biofilm.
Humidity Control: Keeping humidity levels low, particularly around kitchens and bathrooms, prevents biofilm development on interior windows by reducing moisture, a key factor in microbial growth.
Benefits of Professional Window Cleaners in Perth
Due to the persistence of biofilms, engaging a window cleaner Perth specialist ensures the best outcomes. Local professionals are equipped to handle the specific challenges posed by Perth’s environment, from coastal humidity to urban pollutants, and they use biofilm-specific cleaning solutions and equipment. Access to advanced techniques and eco-friendly treatments helps prevent microbial regrowth, supporting cleanliness and extending the windows’ longevity.
Conclusion
Biofilm formation on windows presents a unique challenge that impacts both the appearance and hygiene of commercial and residential properties. To manage biofilms effectively, a professional window cleaner Perth service can implement comprehensive strategies, including targeted chemical, mechanical, and preventive treatments, ensuring windows remain clear, hygienic, and protected against microbial growth.
