Various clinical specimens were processed to find the prevalence rate of enterococci and to identify the species of clinical isolates of enterococci. Screening of various clinical specimens revealed that enterococci were prevalent in 2% of the total specimens, with urine and wound to be the major site of isolation. Conventional test scheme proposed by Facklam and Collins and commercially available systems Rapid ID 32 Strep (biomereiux) were successfully used to speciate enterococcal strains. Five species of enterococci were identified in the study from a set of 396 cultures, with E. faecalis (79.79%), and E. faecium (11.11%) predominating. E. hirae (3.03%), E. gallinarum (3.03%), and E. casseliflavus (3.03%), were the other members of Enterococcus species identified.
对各种临床标本进行处理，以确定肠球菌的流行率，并鉴定肠球菌临床分离株的种类。对各种临床标本的筛查显示，肠球菌在所有标本中的流行率为2%，尿液和伤口是主要的分离部位。Facklam和Collins提出的传统检测方案以及市售系统Rapid ID 32 Strep（生物梅里埃公司）成功用于对肠球菌菌株进行分类。在该研究中，从396份培养物中鉴定出五种肠球菌，其中粪肠球菌（79.79%）和屎肠球菌（11.11%）占主导地位。希拉肠球菌（3.03%）、鹑鸡肠球菌（3.03%）和耐久肠球菌（3.03%）是鉴定出的肠球菌属的其他成员。
