It wasnât until 1984, that it was classified as an Enterococcus. E. faecalis is among the most antibiotic resistant bacteria known.
Global mean surface temperature change since 1880. The temperature record shows the fluctuations of the temperature of the atmosphere and the oceans through various spans of time. The most detailed information exists since 1850, when methodical thermometer-based records began.
