【 摘 要 】

This study was carried out to characterize a strain of Streptococcus faecalis isolated from sewage oxidation pond in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. The isolated strain was gram positive, citrate negative, indole positive, MR positive, VP negative. It was able to ferment galactose, glucose, inositol, lactose and mannitol with production of gas. It was catalase positive and able to hydrolyse starch. The strain of S. faecalis was sensitive to amoxicillin, ofloxacin, chloramphenicol, pefloxacin, ciproflaxin, tetracycline and cotrimoxazole. However, it was resistant to gentamycin, augmentin, streptomycin and ceftriazone.
