Safety assessment and molecular genetic profiling by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and PCR-based techniques of Enterococcus faecium strains of food origin

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Enterococcus faecium is authorized as animal probiotic in the European Union, but this species has emerged as an important cause of nosocomial infections in humans. We investigated the safety of 14 potential probiotic E. faecium strains with antimicrobial activity, previously isolated from food, following the guidance proposed by EFSA. All the enterococci were susceptible to ampicillin, and none of them harbored t...
