| | Rapid MGP Medium - for Enterococcus |
 | | Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium are MGP negative. | | | Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, components of the human intestinal tract, are the two most frequently encountered enterococci in the clinical laboratory. | | | Other species, such as Enterococcus casseliflavus and Enterococcus gallinarum, are not commonly encountered in the clinical setting but are significant because they display intrinsic resistance to vancomycin. |
