Abstract:
Enterococci are part of the dominant microbiota of several dairy products, which can be used in thedairy industry as starter or probiotic cultures. However, they are also implicated in severe multi-resistantnosocomial human infections. In this study, phenotypic tests using API 20 S strip were used for speciesidentification of 60 and 55 enterococcal strains isolated from dairy products and clinical samples, respectively.
