Enterococcus Faecalis
Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive bacterium inhabiting the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and other mammals. Like other species in the genus Enterococcus, E. faecalis can cause life-threatening infections in humans, especially in the hospital environment: the naturally high levels of antibiotic resistance found in E. faecalis contribute to its pathogenicity.
