Abstract: Quorum sensing system is a mechanism for the exchange between microbes and adapt to the surrounding environment. Fsr quorum sensing system is closely related to the pathogenicity of Enterococcus faecalis. This paper gathered the progress of domestic and international, which including the composition of Enterococcus faecalis fsr quorum sensing system, the characteristics of each part, quorum sensing signal-regulated pathways, associated virulence genes, the inhibitors of quorum sensing system, and proposed new suggestions about the treatment of disease caused by Enterococcus faecalis.
