Pathogenicity potential of enterococci isolated from a Veterinary Biological Isolation and Containment Unit
The degree of resistance, production of virulence factors and the percentage of isolates classified as moderate or high threat means that a constant vigilance of such strains in veterinary units, but also in clinics and hospitals in general, is an important tool in terms of infection prevention and consequent reduction of HAIs.
