Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Enterococci are an indigenous flora of the intestinal tract, oral cavity and the genitourinary tract of the human beings and animals, are known to be relatively a virulent in healthy individuals but have become opportunistic pathogens especially in hospitalized patients.
