While enterococci are commonly found in food of animal origin, the knowledge on their zoonotic potential is limited. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the antimicrobial susceptibility and virulence traits of\n                    <jats:italic>Enterococcus faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Enterococcus faecium<\/jats:italic>\n                    isolates from human clinical specimens and retail red meat in Slovenia. A total of 242 isolates were investigated: 101 from humans (71\n                    <jats:italic>E. faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , 30\n                    <jats:italic>E. faecium<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) and 141 from fresh beef and pork (120\n                    <jats:italic>E. faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , 21\n                    <jats:italic>E. faecium<\/jats:italic>\n                    ). The susceptibility to 12 antimicrobials was tested using a broth microdilution method, and the presence of seven common virulence genes was investigated using PCR. In both species, the distribution of several resistance phenotypes and virulence genes was disparate for isolates of different origin. All isolates were susceptible to daptomycin, linezolid, teicoplanin, and vancomycin. In both species, the susceptibility to antimicrobials was strongly associated with a food origin and the multidrug resistance, observed in 29.6% of\n                    <jats:italic>E. faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    and 73.3%\n                    <jats:italic>E. faecium<\/jats:italic>\n                    clinical isolates, with a clinical origin (Fisher\u2019s exact test). Among meat isolates, in total 66.0% of\n                    <jats:italic>E. faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>E. faecium<\/jats:italic>\n                    isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobials tested and 32.6% were resistant to either one or two antimicrobials. In\n                    <jats:italic>E. faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , several virulence genes were significantly associated with a clinical origin; the most common (31.0%) gene pattern included all the tested genes except\n                    <jats:italic>hyl<\/jats:italic>\n                    . In meat isolates, the virulence genes were detected in\n                    <jats:italic>E. faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    only and the most common pattern included\n                    <jats:italic>ace<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>efaA<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>gelE<\/jats:italic>\n                    (32.5%), of which\n                    <jats:italic>gelE<\/jats:italic>\n                    showed a statistically significant association with a clinical origin.
