Abstract
Enterococcus faecalis plays an important role in human oral cavity infections and may be one of the important species in endodontic treatment failure. In this review article, we provide an overview on the occurrence of the virulence factors associated with E. faecalis in oral infections. Seven virul
期刊介绍:
Reviews in Medical Microbiology is a quarterly review journal which provides a balanced coverage of the whole field of medical microbiology. The Journal publishes state-of-the art reviews, mini-reviews, case presentations and original research from on-going research of the latest developments and techniques in medical microbiology, virology, mycology, parasitology, clinical microbiology, and hospital infection. In addition, PhD-Review - a platform for young researchers, and biographical Bio-Sketch articles are also considered. Reviews are concise, authoritative, and readable synthesis of the latest information on its subject, and references are limited to the fifty key sources for full reviews and twenty for mini-reviews. Reviews in Medical Microbiology is the perfect way for both qualified and trainee microbiologists, and researchers and clinicians with an interest in microbiology, to stay fully informed of the latest developments in medical microbiology. The journal is a valuable resource for educational and teaching purposes.
