Does Enterococcus faecalis from Traditional Raw Milk Cheeses Serve as a Reservoir of Antibiotic Resistance and Pathogenic Traits?

Enterococcus faecalis is not only a prevalent species among dairy microbial community but also a well-documented opportunistic pathogen. Food safety should exclude the possibility of consumer exposure to its virulence traits through consumption of dairy products. In this study, an integrated approach based on both phenotypic and genotypic methods was applied to investigate the incidence of antibiotic resistance...
