  • Title: Recent taxonomic changes in the genus Enterococcus.
    Author: Ruoff KL.
    Journal: Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis; 1990 Feb; 9(2):75-9. PubMed ID: 2108030.
    Abstract:
    Recent taxonomic changes among the catalase-negative gram-positive cocci have led to the recognition of a separate genus for bacteria previously considered to be members of the genus Streptococcus. Presently, a total of 12 species of the genus Enterococcus have been described. The characteristics, taxonomy and nomenclature of these species, along with the possible clinical implications of revised enterococcal taxonomy, are discussed.
