Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Plasmid-Mediated Virulence and Antimicrobial Resistance Traits among Multidrug Resistant Enterococcus spp. in Egypt

Enterococcus spp. are remarkable multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria that are causing serious healthcare-associated infections. The current study investigated the frequency of Enterococcus spp., antimicrobial susceptibility, biofilm formation and the presence of some plasmid-mediated virulence charac...
