The aim of this study was to detect the plasmid profiles, haemolytic activity and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of 47 E nterococcus strains isolated from T urkish T ulum cheese. E nterococcus strains were found to comprise 1–9 plasmids with molecular weight from 2.0 to 47.6 kb. None of the E nterococcus strains displayed haemolytic activity. The E nterococcus strains were found mostly resistant to tetracycline (30 μg) followed by high‐level streptomycin (300 μg). The E nterococcus faecalis strains were found to be highly resistant to antibiotics than E nterococcus faecium and E nterococcus durans strains. In total, 4.3% of the strains exhibited multiple antibiotic resistance patterns.
