“…Enterococci are Gram-positive facultative anaerobes, examples of which include E. faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, which cause bacteremia, pneumonia, endocarditis, and urinary tract infections (Beganovic et al, 2018;Jabbari Shiadeh et al, 2019). In addition, E. faecalis is also one of the major pathogens for pneumonia and bacteremia in stroke patients, and the infection after stroke could lead to the death of the stroke patient (Hannawi et al, 2013;Dyal and Sehgal, 2015;Stanley et al, 2016). Moreover, the intrinsic and acquired antibiotic resistance of Enterococci is a formidable public health threat (Arias et al, 2011;Banla et al, 2018).…”
