TL;DR: The occurrence of antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes, and the distribution of Enterococcal CC17 in companion animal enterococcal strains were similar to those of human strains rather than to those that of food animal strains.

Characterization of veterinary hospital-associated isolates of Enterococcus species in Korea.
TL;DR: The results imply a strong possibility of cross-transmission of the antibiotic-resistant enterococcal species between animal patients, owners, veterinary staff, and hospital environments.

Antimicrobial and immunomodulatory effects of Aloe vera peel extract
TL;DR: The antimicrobial activity of aloe vera peel extract in distilled water against Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Seudomonas aeruginosa, and Vibrio was ascertained.
Prevalence and characteristics of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) from cattle in Korea between 2010 and 2011
TL;DR: Differences between isolates collected in Korea may have resulted from seasonal variations or large-scale slaughtering in Korea performed to control a foot and mouth disease outbreak that occurred in early 2011, but continuous epidemiologic studies will be needed to understand mechanisms.

Detection of CC17 Enterococcus faecium in Dogs and a Comparison with Human Isolates
TL;DR: Enterococcus faecium strains of clonal complex (CC) 17 were isolated from domestic dogs and were more prevalent in infectious isolates than in colonized isolates, suggesting that strains of the CC17 lineage may have an advantage in causing infections in dogs.
