ABSTRACT
Enterococcus species are important opportunistic pathogens that are associated with nosocomial-and community-invasive infections. Currently, drug-resistant enterococcal isolates are challenging nosocomial Enterococci species with limited antimicrobial therapeutic options being available to treat these infections. Moreover, the ability of enterococci to act as reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes within the food chain poses an important food safety risk. In this paper, we reviewed the new development of the pathogenicity and drug-resistance and its mechanism of Enterococcus species, and also drug-resistance of foodborne Enterococcus species spreading in human and livestock. And then, we proposed the ways to control and decrease the drug-resistance of foodborne Enterococcus species.
