Abstract
Introduction: The emergence of drug resistant Enterococcus spp is now become an important public health threat as it is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections. This study aimed to disclose the virulence factors and their encoding genes (asa, gelE, esp, ebpR, hyl gene for biofilm; cylA gene for hemolysis; gelE gene for gelatin hydrolysis) and observe their relations with antimicrobial resistance in Enterococci.
