Abstract:Enterococcus isolates were identified. Maximum samples from which Enterococcus spp. was isolated is urine i.e. 39 (54.17%), followed by pus and blood i.e. 22 (30.55%) and 5 (6.94%) respectively. Maximum isolate is E. faecalis i.e. 62 (86.11%) followed by E.faecium i.e. 10 (13.89%). On Antimicrobial Susceptibility testing, Ampicillin, Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Tetracycline and Doxycycline show 70.83%, 38.88%, 30.55%, 58.33% and 52.77% resistance respectively.
