Because of the small number of other Enterococcus spp. strains, only E. faecium and E. faecalis were shown in this table. a: Total enterococci other than E. faecalis and E. faecalis. b: Some strains could not be recognized by the BD system, so they were removed from the statistics. c: 9 kinds of antimicrobials with the significant difference in E. faecium and E. faecalis.
