<h4>Background</h4>Enterococcus faecalis, traditionally considered a harmless commensal of the intestinal tract, is now ranked among the leading causes of nosocomial infections. In an attempt to gain insight into the genetic make-up of commensal E. faecalis, we have studied genomic variation in a collection of community-derived E. faecalis isolated from the feces of Norwegian infants.<h4>Results</h4>The E. faecalis isolates were first sequence typed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and chara ...[more]
