title: [Identification of Enterococci strains].
abstract: Species identification of enterococci strains isolated from human intestinal tract has been conducted with microbiological and molecular-genetic methods. Results of the phenotypic differentiation have been compared with PCR-analysis results. Accuracy of species identification obtained with the use of 4 traditional test schemes of differentiation and API 20 Strep ranged from 77% to 100% for strains of E. faecium, 11-83% for E. durans strains and 56% for E. hirae strains.
