We isolated Enterococcus species that colonized in the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in order to investigate their genetic relatedness and antimicrobial susceptibility.

Multilocus sequence typing of E. faecalis and E. faecium isolates indicated that some of the isolates showed an evolutionary dista ...[more]
