Prevalence and phenotypic characterization of Enterococcus spp. isolated from food in Brazil

Prevalence and phenotypic characterization of Enterococcus spp. isolated from food in Brazil

We evaluated the frequency of enterococci from food and found 95.2% of positivity, being E. faecium and E. faecalis the most frequent species. High-level streptomycin resistance was observed, as well as gelatinase and hemolysis activity, showing the potential role of environmental strains as reservo...
