Does anybody know anything about Enterococcus Faecalis?

Question

I know it's a bateria found in the gut of animals and extremely anti-biotic resistant. But can you tell me more? Why is it so antibiotic resistant? What are possible methods for killing it? What are the odds of surviving if you get an infection from it? How many people catch this virus? I am up for any sort of information. The internet sites are very limited with information on this bacteria. I just wanted to see if anyone else knew more about it, Thanks in advance for any help! :-D
