Abstract
⺠Study of an ST72 food E. faecalis strain, previously shown to be virulent in an insect model. ⺠Strain was good biofilm former, adhered to epithelial cells and was eliminated by macrophages. ⺠It carried the cps locus associated with CPS 2 type, but cps genes were not expressed. ⺠First study reporting traits relevant for colonization and infection of the host, on a food isolate. ⺠Results point out the need for methods to assess enterococcal virulence potential in mammals.
