[Investigation of Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Factors of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis Strains Isolated from Clinical Samples].

In conclusion, our data indicated that virulence factors except hyl gene and biofilm production were higher in E.faecalis isolates but E.faecium isolates were more resistant to antibiotics. In order to prevent infection of such virulent or resistant isolates in the hospital setting, infection control measures must be followed. In vivo studies are needed for the better understanding of the virulence of enterococci. PMID: 32050876 [PubMed - in process]
