This study was aimed at investigating the occurrence, virulence factors, biofilm formation, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of\n                    <jats:italic>E. faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    in layer parent stock birds in Bangladesh. Samples (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 80) were collected from healthy (cloacal swabs,\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 60) and dead (liver tissues,\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 20) birds.

Biofilm formation was assessed using Congo red agar, and antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by disc diffusion.\n                    <jats:italic>E. faecalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    was detected in 76.3% of samples, with higher detection in live birds (80%) than in dead birds (65%). Biofilm production was found in 75.4% of isolates, with a higher rate in dead birds (84.6%) than live birds (72.9%). Strong and intermediate biofilm\u2010forming capacities were more prevalent in isolates from dead birds. All eight tested virulence genes were commonly distributed, particularly\n                    <jats:italic>pil<\/jats:italic>\n                    (95.8%),\n                    <jats:italic>ace<\/jats:italic>\n                    (93.4%), and\n                    <jats:italic>agg<\/jats:italic>\n                    (91.8%), with no significant differences between live and dead bird isolates. High resistance was observed against ampicillin (93.4%), ciprofloxacin (80.3%), erythromycin (78.7%), and tetracycline (72.1%). Multidrug resistance (MDR) was found in 79.2% of isolates from live birds and 69.2% from dead birds, with multiple antibiotic resistance indices ranging from 0.27 to 0.72.
