Species code:	ENTFA
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Lactobacillales; Enterococcaceae; Enterococcus (TaxID: 1351) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Enterococcus faecalis, a Gram-positive bacterium, is a natural inhabitant of the mammalian gastrointestinal tract and is found in soil, sewage, water and food, frequently through fecal contamination. It is an opportunistic pathogen that is a major cause of urinary tract infections, bacteremia, and infective endocarditis. It has become a nosocomial pathogen that is refractory to most therapeutic options.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: No Human pathogen: Yes Interaction: Animal commensal in Mammalia; Animal pathogen in Mammalia Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of ENTFA entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 3240 (454 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 2786 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
