Enterococcus faecalis

This bacterium is a common, useful and remarably resilient inhabitant of the healthy human gut. Unfortunately, it can also obtain certain genes which allow it to resist multiple antibiotics and cause a variety of serious infections. These are especially likely in people that are already sick or have a weakened immune system. E. faecalis is also able to metabolize a drug used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, and thus reduce its effectiveness.
