Ying Zeng, Donglai Dai, Yu Feng
TL;DR
Scientists sequenced the genome of a vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium from a bloodstream infection patient.
Contribution
The study provides a draft genome sequence of a vancomycin-resistant E. faecium strain with sequence type 80 and the vanA operon.
Findings
The genome assembly consists of 243 contigs totaling 2,915,356 bp.
The strain carries the vanA-type operon, associated with vancomycin resistance.
The GC content of the genome is 37.66%.
Abstract
We report the draft genome sequence of a vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, isolated from a patient with bloodstream infection. The strain was classified as sequence type 80 and carries the vanA-type operon. The final assembled genome assembly comprises 243 contigs totaling 2,915,356 bp, with a GC content of 37.66%.
