Abstract
Information on the role of some bacterial species, such as Lactococcus garvieae and Enterococcus gallinarum, in animal as well as human infections remains scarce. Difficulties in the precise laboratory identification and possible misidentification as other better known related microorganism can, at least in part, account for the limitation of the data available6.
