Identification of Enterococcus faecalis enzymes with azoreductases and/or nitroreductase activity
Abstract Background Nitroreductases, NAD(P)H dependent flavoenzymes, are found in most of bacterial species. Even if Enterococcus faecalis strains seems to present such activity because of their sensitivity to nitrofurans, no enzyme has been described. Nitroreductases were separated of others reduct...
