Abstract
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping method for Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium was developed using the "Minimum SNPs" program. SNP sets were interrogated using allele-specific real-time PCR. SNP typing subdivided clonal complexes 2 and 9 of E. faecalis and 17 of E. faecium, members of which cause the majority of nosocomial infections globally.Entities:
