Enterococci are ubiquitous microorganisms, found as part of the normal intestinal microbiota
of many animals. They can be present in food products, for example, the Portuguese dry …

Bacteria utilize a quorum sensing (QS) system to coordinate gene expression by monitoring
the concentration of molecules known as autoinducers (AI). In the present study, we …

One of the most pressing problems of enterococci infections is occurring resistance to
linezolid, which is an antibiotic used in the treatment of infections caused by vancomycin …

Enterococci are known members of the native microbiota in traditional dry smoked
fermented sausages, but their exact role continues to be poorly understood. In the present …

Enterococcus species are ubiquitous in nature, exist at high levels in food, and can cause
