ABSTRACT The 16S rRNA sequences of enterococcal species E. faecium , E. faecalis , E. gallinarum , E. casseliflavus/flavescens , E. dispar , E. pseudoavium , E. sulfureus , E. malodoratus , E. raffinosus , E. cecorum , E. hirae , E. saccharolyticus , E. seriolicida , E. mundtii , E. avium , E. durans , E. columbae , and E. solitarius are presented herein. These data were utilized to confirm the species identification of two nonmotile E. gallinarum isolates which had been previously phenotypically identified as E. faecium . The implications of this finding are discussed.

ABSTRACT We studied the DNA sequence variation of van genes of 34 isolates of Enterococcus spp. The isolates containing the vanB gene exhibited between 0 and 41 base pair changes per 801 bp studied when the vanB sequences were compared to that of the reference strain Enterococcus faecalis V583. The isolates carrying the vanC-2 gene exhibited between 0 and 23 base pair changes per 346 bp studied when the vanC-2 sequences were compared to that of the reference strain E. casseliflavus ATCC 25788. Little variation was noted in the vanA and vanC-1 genes.
