This study investigated the presence of @entity6375 spp. strains in @entity20770 faeces, their virulence factors, and resistance to the antibiotics commonly used as therapy of @entity281 . One hundred and seventy three @entity6375 strains were isolated and identified to species level using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Susceptibility to 11 antimicrobials was determined by disk diffusion method. Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) of @entity114 , @entity869 , @entity2176 , @entity11248 , @entity801 , and @entity3639 were all determined. Genes encoding resistance to @entity2176 , @entity803 , and @entity2929 as well as genes encoding some virulence factors were identified by PCR. @entity26045 (54.3%) and @entity6375 (25.4%) were the species most frequently isolated. None of the strains were resistant to @entity2176 , @entity11248 , @entity869 or showed high level @entity5292 resistance (HLAR). Strains resistant to @entity1215 (42.42%) were those most commonly found followed those resistant to @entity206 - @entity207 (33.33%). The genes tetM, tetL, vanC1, and vanC2-C3 were detected in some strains. Virulence genes were not detected. Monitoring the presence of resistant strains of faecal enterococci in animal used with recreational purposes is important to prevent transmission of those strains to @entity1 and to detect resistance or virulence genes that could be transferred to other clinically important bacteria.

Identification, antimicrobial susceptibility, and virulence factors of @entity6375 spp. strains isolated from XXXX in Canary Islands, Spain.
