The enterococci are low-GC Gram-positive bacteria that have emerged as leading causes of hospital-acquired infection. They are also commensals of the gastrointestinal tract of healthy humans and most other animals with gastrointestinal flora and are important for food fermentations. Here we report the availability of draft genome sequences for 28 enterococcal strains of diverse origin, including the species Enterococcus faecalis, E. faecium, E. casseliflavus, and E. gallinarum.
肠球菌是低 GC 革兰氏阳性细菌，已成为医院获得性感染的主要病原体。它们也是健康人类和大多数其他具有胃肠道菌群的动物胃肠道的共生菌，并且在食品发酵中很重要。在这里，我们报告了 28 株不同来源的肠球菌菌株的草图基因组序列的可用性，包括粪肠球菌、屎肠球菌、鹑鸡肠球菌和鸡肠球菌。
