Enterococcus, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enterococcus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria of the phylum Firmicutes. Members of this genus were classified as Group D Streptococcus until 1984 when genomic DNA analysis indicated that a separate genus classification was appropriate.
Enterococci are Gram-positive cocci which often occur in pairs (diplococci) and are difficult to distinguish from Streptococci on physical characteristics alone. Two species are common commensal organisms in the intestines of humans: E. faecalis (90-95%) and E. faecium (5-10%). Enterococci are facultative anaerobic organisms, i.e. they prefer the use of oxygen, but they can survive in the absence of oxygen. They typically exhibit gamma-hemolysis on sheep's blood agar.

The Enterococcus Research Site
Interesting site with general information about enterococci, research protocols, strain and plasmid database, and other interesting links. I guess this site was developed at the time that Mike Gilmore was still in Oklahoma, so I'm not sure how well updated this site is.
