False about gram-positive cocci is: (A) Staphylococcus saprophyticus causes UTI in females, (B) Most enterococci are sensitive to penicillin, (C) Non pathogenic strains are coagulase negative, (D) Neonatal meningitis causing streptococci hydrolyses hippurate
Answer is B. The enterococcus group strains are resistant to penicillin and other antibiotics occur frequently. So, it is essential to perform antibiotic sensitivity for proper therapy. They are intrinsically resistant to cephalosporins and offer low-level resistance to aminoglycosides. Reference: Textbook of Microbiology; Anathanarayan and panicker's; 10th edition; Page no: 220
