Enterococcus spp. are Gram-positive, facultative, anaerobic cocci, which are found in the
intestinal flora and, less frequently, in the vagina or mouth. Enterococcus faecalis and …

As a genus that has evolved for resistance against adverse environmental factors and that
readily exchanges genetic elements, enterococci are well adapted to the cheese …

Milk, due to its diversity in terms of its nutritional content, is an important element of the
human diet, as well as a good medium for the development of bacteria. The genus Bacillus …

The presence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria in ready-to-eat foods comprises a threat
for public health due to their ability to acquire and transfer antibiotic-resistant determinants …

Abstract Ready-to-eat (RTE) foods have been considered to be reservoirs of antibiotic
resistance bacteria, which constitute direct threat to human health, but the potential …

The enterococci are ubiquitous bacteria able to colonize the human and animal
