A member asked:
Enterococcus found in vaginal swab. can this be passed on to my husband through sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal, not STD: Enterococcus is a normal bacteria in everyone's intestinal tract and often the genital area. Finding it in the vagina is not abnormal. It is not sexually transmitted, and anyway your husband already has enterococcus in his intestines and perhaps genital area.
