Abstract
Enterococci are commensal bacteria in the gastrointestinal flora of animals and humans. These are an important global cause of nosocomial infections. A Biofilm formation constitutes an alternative lifestyle in which microorganisms adopt a multi-cellular behavior that facilitates and prolongs survival in diverse environmental niches. The species of enterococcus forms the biofilm on biotic and abiotic surfaces both in the environment and in the healthcare settings. The ability to form biofilms is among the prominent virulence properties of enterococcus. The present chapter highlights the mechanisms underlying in the biofilm formation by enterococcus species, which influences in causing development of the diseases.
