Identification of Enterococcus spp. with a biochemical key.
A six-step biochemical key is presented for the identification of all recognized Enterococcus spp. The key consists of 12 tests, but no more than 6 are needed for the most complicated identification. The reliability of the key has been evaluated with collection type strains and clinical and environmental isolates. This key has fewer tests than those reported in previous studies. There is no com...
متن کاملEvaluation of (GTG)5-PCR for identification of Enterococcus spp.
A set of reference strains and a group of previously unidentified enterococci were analysed by rep-PCR with the (GTG)(5) primer to evaluate the discriminatory power and suitability of this method for typing and identification of enterococcal species. A total of 49 strains representing all validly described species were obtained from bacterial collections. For more extensive evaluation of this i...
متن کاملIdentification of Multiple Bacteriocins in Enterococcus spp. Using an Enterococcus-Specific Bacteriocin PCR Array
Twenty-two bacteriocin-producing Enterococcus isolates obtained from food and animal sources, and demonstrating activity against Listeria monocytogenes, were screened for bacteriocin-related genes using a bacteriocin PCR array based on known enterococcal bacteriocin gene sequences in the NCBI GenBank database. The 22 bacteriocin-positive (Bac+) enterococci included En. durans (1), En. faecalis ...
متن کاملDualistic aspects of Enterococcus spp. in foods
Enterococcus spp. belong to the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) group and comprise more than 20 species. They are widely distributed in nature, and E. faecium and E. faecalis are the most frequent species. Enterococci may be used in food fermentation as starter cultures, being responsible for the formation of unique flavours. Some strains present probiotic properties due to health promoting effects....
متن کاملComparing MALDI-ToFMass Spectrometry with Molecular and Biochemical Methods in Identifying Enterococcus Faecium and Enterococcus FaecalisIsolated from Clinical Samples
Abstract Background and Objective: Enterococci are Gram-positive members of human gastrointestinal flora,in Dairy products and environment. they have emerged as important causes of opportunistic nosocomial infections in recent years. In this study we aimed to investigat and compare the efficiency of MALDI-TOFmass spectroscopy method through Biochemical and Molecular methods for detecting Enter...
