life-threatening infections in humans‚ especially in the nosocomial (hospital) environment‚ where the naturally high levels of antibiotic resistance found in E. faecalis contribute to its pathogenicity. E. faecalis can cause endocarditis and bacteremia‚ urinary tract infections (UTI)‚ meningitis‚ and other infections in humans. Several virulence factors are thought to contribute to E. faecalis infections. A plasmid-encoded hemolysin‚ called the cytolysin‚ is important for pathogenesis in animal models of infection
