摘要：

Enterococcus gallinarum and E. casseliflavus are difficult to differentiate from other enterococci, particularly E. faecium. The former two species were found to produce acid from methyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside in phenol red broth, while E. faecalis strains and strains of the E. faecium species group, including E. faecium, E. durans, E, hirae, and E, mundtii, failed to produce acid from this substrate.
