Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212

◔ Human-origin
Sequenced
Public genome assembly available

Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 is a standard clinical reference strain used in antimicrobial susceptibility testing and dental research. The indexed literature reflects its role as a quality control organism: studies examine its responses to antibiotics, plant-derived antimicrobials, endodontic irrigants, and heavy metals. E. faecalis is an opportunistic pathogen, particularly in healthcare settings, and ATCC 29212 is primarily a laboratory reference strain rather than a probiotic candidate. It is not used in human health supplementation, and no probiotic evidence was identified.
