1. Normal Microbiota: Enterococcus species are part of the normal microbial communities in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. They contribute to the overall balance of the gut microbiota and play a role in various metabolic processes.

2. Infections: Some Enterococcus species, particularly Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, are known opportunistic pathogens. They can cause infections in various parts of the body, including urinary tract infections, bloodstream infections (bacteremia), and infective endocarditis. Enterococcal infections are often associated with healthcare settings, and certain strains may exhibit antibiotic resistance, posing challenges for treatment.

3. Antibiotic Resistance: Enterococcus species are notable for their ability to develop antibiotic resistance, including resistance to multiple drugs. This can complicate the treatment of infections caused by these bacteria, especially in healthcare settings where antibiotic-resistant strains may be prevalent.

4. Probiotic Potential: Despite the association with infections, certain strains of Enterococcus have been studied for their potential probiotic properties. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, can confer health benefits to the host. Some Enterococcus strains may contribute to gastrointestinal health and immune modulation.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
