True or False: Enterococcus faecium

and Enterococcus raffinosus both

belong to the order Lactobacillales.

True

True or False: Enterococcus raffinosus

is more commonly found in human

gastrointestinal tracts compared to

Enterococcus faecium, which is rarely

present in the gut microbiota.

False, Enterococcus faecium is more commonly found in the human gastrointestinal tract compared to Enterococcus raffinosus.

True or False: Both Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus raffinosus are capable of causing opportunistic infections, including urinary tract infections and endocarditis, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.

True, Both Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus raffinosus are capable of causing opportunistic infections, including urinary tract infections and endocarditis, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.

True or False: E. faecium is known for

its significant antibiotic resistance,

particularly to vancomycin, whereas E.

raffinosus rarely exhibits multidrug

resistance.

True. Enterococcus faecium is well-known for its significant antibiotic resistance, because of vancomycin (Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus or VRE), and it is often associated with multidrug resistance. In contrast, Enterococcus raffinosus generally exhibits less antibiotic resistance and is less frequently associated with multidrug-resistant strains.
