We report here the draft genome sequence of the bacteriocin producer
Enterococcus faecium
strain L-3, isolated from a probiotic preparation, Laminolact, which is widely used in the Russian Federation. The draft genome sequence is composed of 74 contigs for a total of 2,643,001 bp, with 2,646 coding genes. Five clusters for bacteriocin production were found.
Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Enterococcus faecium strain E1298, a representative of the clonal complex 17 (CC17), identified as sequence type 1274 (ST1274) and resistant to multiple classes of antimicrobials, isolated from the cloaca of a tropical screech owl (Megascops choliba) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
ABSTRACT
Herein, we report the draft genome sequence of a newly discovered probiotic strain,
Enterococcus faecium
J19, which was isolated from cabbage. Strain J19 has shown antagonistic effects against the human foodborne pathogen
Listeria monocytogenes
in coculture and in different food matrices.
Specific lineages of the commensal bacterium
Enterococcus faecium
belonging to CC17, especially ST412, have been isolated from patients in several hospitals worldwide and harbor antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors. Here, we report a high-quality draft genome sequence and highlight features of
E. faecium
VRE16, a representative of this ST.
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci have emerged as major nosocomial pathogens worldwide. While antimicrobial pressure promotes nosocomial colonization with these enterococci, prolonged exposure to vancomycin may foster the transition from vancomycin resistance to vancomycin dependence. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a vancomycin-dependent
Enterococcus faecium
isolate showing partial teicoplanin dependence.
Here, we present the draft genome sequence of an unusual Enterococcus faecium isolate (CL-6729) showing constitutive expression of the VanA type of vancomycin resistance. The isolate was recovered from a patient with a nosocomial urinary tract infection in Brazil.
