Abstract
The 16S rRNA sequences of enterococcal species E. faecium , E. faecalis , E. gallinarum , E. casseliflavus/flavescens , E. dispar , E. pseudoavium , E. sulfureus , E. malodoratus , E. raffinosus , E. cecorum , E. hirae , E. saccharolyticus , E. seriolicida , E. mundtii , E. avium , E. durans , E. columbae , and E. solitarius are presented herein. These data were utilized to confirm the species identification of two nonmotile E. gallinarum isolates which had been previously phenotypically identified as E. faecium . The implications of this finding are discussed.
