Enterococcus cecorum

Enterococcus cecorum is a bacterium that can be found in the intestinal tract of animals. In dogs, it is less commonly discussed than Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, but it may still reflect changes in the gut bacterial community. Higher levels may suggest a shift in the intestinal environment, especially when stool quality, digestion, or appetite has changed. Enterococcus cecorum can help add detail to the Enterococcus pattern in the dog’s gut profile by showing whether a less commonly highlighted Enterococcus species is becoming more noticeable.
