ABSTRACT Enterococcus faecalis is a clinically significant member of the human microbiome. Three CRISPR-Cas loci are located in conserved locations. Previous studies provide evidence that E. faecalis strains with functional CRISPR-Cas genes are negatively correlated with antibiotic resistance. Here, we report the genome sequence of an unusual strain possessing all three CRISPR-Cas loci.

ABSTRACT A strain of Enterococcus faecalis was isolated from catheterized urine. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of this isolate, E. faecalis UMB1309. Analysis of the genome revealed multiple genes coding for virulence factors, as well as genes associated with antibiotic resistance.

ABSTRACT Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Enterococcus faecalis UMB7780, isolated from the female urinary tract. The genome size is 3,005,901 bp, with a GC content of 37.36%, genome coverage of 179×, and an N50 score of 169,627 bp. Genome analysis identified evidence of antibiotic resistance, as well as intact prophages.

Enterococcus faecalis 24FS is a bacteriocin-producing, multiply antibiotic-resistant, and potentially virulent bacterium isolated from healthy infant feces. The draft 2.9-Mb genome sequence revealed 2,968 protein-encoding genes; 11 antibiotic resistance, 8 virulence, and 3 bacteriocin genes; and 2 plasmids, 4 prophages, 30 insertion sequence (IS) elements, 1 transposon, and 1 integron.

ABSTRACT We report the draft genome sequence of Enterococcus faecalis DD14, a strain isolated from meconium of a healthy newborn at Roubaix Hospital (France). The strain displayed antagonism against a set of Gram-positive bacteria through concomitant production of lactic acid and bacteriocin. The genome has a size of 2,893,365 bp and a 37.3% G+C ratio and is predicted to contain at least 2,755 coding sequences and 62 RNAs.

Here, we introduce the 2.8-Mbp draft genome of Enterococcus faecalis strain UMB0843, isolated from the female urinary tract. E. faecalis is a leading cause of nosocomial infections, and many strains are often resistant to multiple antibiotics. We focus our genome analysis on the multiple genes involved in antibiotic resistance in this strain.

ABSTRACT Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Corynebacterium aurimucosum UMB7769, isolated from the female urinary tract. The size of the genome is 2,731,818 bp, assembled in 50 contigs, with an observed GC content of 60.9% and an N50 score of 129,518 bp. Annotation revealed 31 antibiotic resistance genes.

We report here the draft genome sequence of a Chryseobacterium indologenes strain, isolated from a blood culture of a 2.2-year-old child admitted to the hospital for vomiting and coughing. The genome was composed of 5,063,674 bp and had 37.04% GC content. We detected 4,796 genes with predicted protein-coding functions, including those associated with antibiotic resistance.

In this report, we present the draft genome sequence of a newly discovered potential probiotic strain of Lactobacillus kefiri, SGL 13, isolated from kefir grains. Antibiotic resistance analysis did not reveal evidence of interspecific horizontal gene transfer since the identified bacitracin resistance gene does not have mobile genetic elements.

ABSTRACT Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis J303, isolated from infected walnut trees in southern Chile. The size of the genome is 5,066,424 bp with a G+C content of 65.4%. X. arboricola pv. juglandis J303 has several genes related to virulence, antibiotic resistance, and copper resistance.

ABSTRACT We report here the first draft genome sequence of a Mexican communitarian methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) strain whose genome harbors a wide variety of resistance determinants. The availability of this genome will allow the study of antibiotic resistance in Mexican staphylococci from a genomic perspective.
