Microorganisms from canals of root-filled teeth with periapical lesions. (2003, background): “It has been postulated that a virulence factor of E. faecalis in failed endodontically treated teeth may be related to the ability of E. faecalis cells to maintain the capability to invade dentinal tubules and adhere to collagen in the presence of human serum (Love 2001).”
The ecology, epidemiology and virulence of Enterococcus. (2009, background): “faecalis is responsible for 80–90 % of human enterococcal endodontic infection and is usually the only Enterococcus species isolated from the obturated root canal (Love, 2001; Peciuliene et al., 2001).”
