These infections vary widely in their mode of transmission, symptoms, and other characteristics. Treatment is difficult in some cases because enterococci are resistant to numerous antimicrobial agents. __Enterococcus faecalis__ and __E. faecium__ are the best-known opportunistic pathogens, but others, including __E. casseliflavus__, occasionally cause opportunistic infections. This review summarizes the clinical features of __E. casseliflavus__ infections and discusses effective therapeutic strategies. Bacteremia was the most common form of __E. casseliflavus__ infections. Because __E. casseliflavus__ carries the VanC gene, which confers resistance to vancomycin, less resistant drugs such as ampicillin were found more effective in treating the bacteremia. The second most common form of __E. casseliflavus__ infe
