• Current Applications and Future Trends of Lactic Acid Bacteria and their Bacteriocins for the Biopreservation of Aquatic Food Products (2008, background): “A drawback in the use of enterocins is that they may be produced by enterococcal species carrying antibiotic resistance genes and/or genes coding for potential virulence factors (Eaton and Gasson 2001; Franz et al. 2001).”
• Antimicrobial activity, safety aspects, and some technological properties of bacteriocinogenic Enterococcus faecium from artisanal Tunisian fermented meat (2010, background): “faecium and Enterococcus faecalis, respectively (efaAfm and efaAfs), and sex pheromones (cpd, cob, and ccf) were those described by Eaton and Gasson (2001) and ace (the collagen adhesion) described by Duprè, Zanetti, Schito, Fadda, and Sechi (2003).”
• The role and application of enterococci in food and health. (2006, background): “faecalis strains; however, its incidence among food isolates seems to be high (Eaton and Gasson, 2001; Franz et al., 2001).”
• In vitro assessment of safety and probiotic potential characteristics of Lactobacillus strains isolated from water buffalo mozzarella cheese (2017, background): “Moreover, these genes have shown in vitro chemotactic activity for human and rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and elicited superoxide production and the secretion of lysosomal enzymes (Eaton and Gasson 2001).”
• The Enterococcal Surface Protein, Esp, Is Involved in Enterococcus faecalis Biofilm Formation (2001, result): “Based on this observation and in agreement with other authors (10, 44) it is tempting to speculate that esp could be part of a pathogenicity island (PAI).”
