Different persistence among strains of E. faecalis and E. faecium in sterile treated wastewater microcosms : Effects of temperature and ciprofloxacin
Intestinal enterococci are zoonotic bacteria found in various environments and they hold medical significance due to their inherent and acquired resistance. Significant quantities of enterococci are consistently discharged into aquatic environments through wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). In this study, the culturability of several strains of Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis in s
