The Enterococcaceae are a family of Gram-positive bacteria placed in the order Lactobacillales. ^[1] Representative genera include Enterococcus , Melissococcus , Pilibacter , Tetragenococcus , and Vagococcus . In this family are some important lactic acid bacteria which produce lactic acid as the major metabolic end product. ^[1]
