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‚ and the cytolysin in

showed that the child died of hydrocephalus after acquiring meningitis three years prior to his death.
