Frequency of virulence genes and antibiotic resistances in<i>Enterococcus</i>spp. isolates from wastewater and feces of domesticated mammals and birds, and wildlife
1 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
Enterococci are gastrointestinal tract residents and also an important cause of nosocomial infections. To understand which species, virulence determinants, and antibiotic resistances are prevalent in enterococci shed by various hosts groups, a total of 1460 strains isolated from 144 fecal samples obtained from wastewater, domesticated mammals and birds, and wildlife were characterized. Identification of isolates...
