Gel electrophoresis showing virulence genes in the enterococcal isolates detected by multiplex PCR. Lane M: 100 bp ladder; Lane 1: gelE (213 bp) and asa1 (376 bp) genes in E. faecalis; Lane 2: gelE (213 bp), asa1 (376 bp), esp (510 bp), and cylA (688 bp) genes in E. faecalis; Lanes 3, 4, and 5: gelE (213 bp) and asa1 (376 bp) genes in E. faecium; Lane 6: hyl (276 bp) gene in E. faecalis; Lane 7: gelE (213 bp) and asa1 (376 bp) genes in MDR E. faecalis; Lane 8: absence of virulence genes in VRE E. faecalis; Lane 9, 10: esp (510 bp) gene in VRE E. faecium; Lane 11: absence of virulence genes in VRE E. faecium; Lane 12: hyl (276 bp) gene in VRE E. faecium; Lane 13: gelE (213 bp) and asa1 (376 bp) genes in HLGR E. faecalis.
