Thats old, old news. Look at the dates on some of those links...2002. At taht time they thought Enterococcus faecalis was nopathogenic. They have since realized they were wrong, very wrong. Look at any recent studies. Enterococcus faecalis is Enterococcus faecalis no matter how you slice it and it is very hazardous to your health. Please post current facts and not outdated info as you are misleading peopel here. Enterococcus faecalis causes people to become immune to Antibiotics , thats enough to make most people say "no thanks." Here are some links for you to educate yourself on. Its so sad that the sellers of Threelac keep telling people that Enterococcus faecalis in threelac is safe. There is no Enterococcus faecalis that is safe.

The enterococcus (previously Streptococcus faecalis), causes many of the same problems as other members of the intestinal flora. These include opportunistic urinary tract infections and wound infections

Scientists have identified a virulence region never seen before in the genome of Enterococcus faecalis - a leading cause of bacterial infection among hospital patients. There has long been concern about the dangers of Antibiotic resistance and its implications for the return of infectious diseases that cannot be effectively treated.

Canada lists it as: MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET - INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCES


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterococcus_faecalis


Enterococcus faecalis is a Gram-positive commensal bacteria inhabiting the alimentary canals of humans and animals, are now acknowledged to be organisms capable of causing life-threatening infections in humans, especially in the nosocomial (hospital) environment. The existence of enterococci in such a dual role is facilitated, at least in part, by its intrinsic and acquired resistance to virtually all Antibiotics currently in use.
E. facaelis can cause endocarditis, as well as bladder, prostate, and epididymal infections; nervous system infections are less common.

Increasing multidrug resistance in Enterococcus faecalis, a nosocomial opportunist and common cause of bacterial endocarditis, emphasizes the need for alternative therapeutic approaches such as immunotherapy or immunoprophylaxis.

Although Enterococcus faecalis was once regarded as nonpathogenic, this opportunistic gram-positive coccus now ranks among the most troublesome hospital pathogens. It has intrinsic resistance to many Antibiotics and a remarkable capacity for developing resistance to others.

Infections caused by Enterococcus faecalis include urinary tract, surgical wound, abdominal, pelvic and neonatal infections. Enterococcus faecalis is an important cause of endocarditis and mortality due to enterococcal bacteremia. It is estimated that well over 800,000 cases per year of enterococcus infections are reported in the U.S. alone, the third largest cause of hospital based infections. Many strains of Enterococcus faecalis are resistant to most antibiotics and many have acquired resistance to vancomycin, rendering conventional therapies insufficient for serious infections.
