(+info)Enterococcaceae is a family of gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic cocci that are commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. They are known for their ability to survive in a wide range of environmental conditions, including high temperatures, salinity, and pH levels. Some species of Enterococcaceae can cause opportunistic infections in humans, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems or underlying medical conditions.
Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium are the two most common species associated with human infections. These infections can include urinary tract infections, bacteremia, endocarditis, and intra-abdominal abscesses. Enterococcaceae are also known for their resistance to many antibiotics, making them difficult to treat in some cases.
It's worth noting that while Enterococcus species are part of the normal gut microbiota, they can sometimes cause infections when they enter other parts of the body, particularly in people with weakened immune systems or underlying medical conditions.
