Resumo: | Enterococcus faecalis is a firmicute of the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) core-microbiome. This commensal bacterium is one of the first to colonize the GIT of humans after birth and remains associated with the adult human gut microbiota at sub-dominant levels.

This bacterial species has been recognized as an opportunistic pathogen for several decades, and now ranks as a major cause of hospital-acquired infections worldwide.(...) |
