Genome sequence of Enterococcus faecium clinical isolate LCT-EF128

J Bacteriol. 2012 Sep;194(17):4765. doi: 10.1128/JB.00996-12.

Abstract

Enterococcus faecium, an opportunistic human pathogen that inhabits the gastrointestinal tracts of most mammals, has emerged as an important opportunistic nosocomial pathogen and is a prominent cause of multiresistant nosocomial infections. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of strain LCT-EF128, isolated from clinical specimens.
