Abstract
Forty-seven Enterococcus faecium strains from different sources were evalua ted by restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) of total chromosomal DNA. St rains from chicken, pork, and humans were clearly divided into separate clu sters, whereas strains from different countries, strains with different ant ibiotic resistance profiles, or clinical and healthy-subject strains were n ot.
