Enterococci from Appenzeller and Schabziger raw milk cheese: antibiotic resistance, virulence factors, and persistence of particular strains in the products.

Abstract excerpt

Enterococci are natural residents of human and animal intestinal tracts, and grow to high numbers in a variety of cheeses. The aim of this study was to determine the diversity of enterococci in two types of artisanal raw milk cheese (Schabziger and Appenzeller) and to investigate whether particular strains with triple resistance against chloramphenicol (Chl), tetracycline (Tet), and erythromycin (Ery) persist in...
