Functional and genetic adaptations contributing to <i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> persistence in the female urinary tract

2023-05-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Enterococcus faecalis is the leading Gram-positive bacterial species implicated in urinary tract infection (UTI). An opportunistic pathogen, E. faecalis is a commensal of the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and its presence in the GIT is a predisposing factor for UTI. The mechanisms by which E. faecalis colonizes and survives in the urinary tract (UT) are poorly understood, especially in un...
