11 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
Introduction Enterococci are commensals of the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals that evolved into opportunistic pathogens with high antimicrobial resistance and virulence. Multidrug-resistant Enterococcus is a major cause of hospital-acquired infections worldwide. For this reason, the characterization of non-clinical reservoirs of Enterococci and their epidemiological link to resistant hospital...
