What Is Enterococcus Faecalis Infection?
Colonies of Enterococcus faecalis reside in the intestinal tracts of all people from shortly after birth. Rarely, a strain of Enterococcus faecalis will become pathogenic and cause one of a number of serious infections in an individual. This typically happens in hospitalized patients, and treating an infection caused by Enterococcus faecalis often proves difficult.
