Resistance and virulence distribution in enterococci isolated from broilers rea...
Semedo-Lemsaddek, Teresa; Cota, João; Ribeiro, Tânia; Pimentel, Amélia; Tavares, Luis; Bernardo, Fernando; Oliveira, ManuelaBackground: The impact of enterococci in human health has been growing for the last decades, mainly due to their resistance to several antimicrobial agents.
