Genomic comparative analysis of the environmental Enterococcus mundtii against enterococcal representative species [PDF]

, 2014
Background Enterococcus mundtii is a yellow-pigmented microorganism rarely found in human infections. The draft genome sequence of E. mundtii was recently announced. Its genome encodes at least 2,589 genes and 57 RNAs, and 4 putative genomic islands have

Virulence of enterococci [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1994
Enterococci are commensal organisms well suited to survival in intestinal and vaginal tracts and the oral cavity. However, as for most bacteria described as causing human disease, enterococci also possess properties that can be ascribed roles in pathogenesis.

Delayed antibiotic exposure induces population collapse in enterococcal communities with drug-resistant subpopulations

eLife, 2020
The molecular underpinnings of antibiotic resistance are increasingly understood, but less is known about how these molecular events influence microbial dynamics on the population scale. Here, we show that the dynamics of E.
