## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequence of an Enterococcus faecalis strain from a vaginal swab, including two complete plasmids.

## Contribution

The study provides a complete genome and plasmid sequences of a clinically relevant E. faecalis isolate.

## Key findings

- The genome of E. faecalis UMB6935B was assembled using hybrid sequencing methods.
- Two complete plasmids were identified and included in the genome sequence.

## Abstract

Enterococcus faecalis has been identified as a member of the vaginal community of healthy females, in addition to its association with vaginitis and urinary tract infections. Here we present the hybrid assembly of an E. faecalis strain, UMB6935B, isolated from a vaginal swab from a female with overactive bladder symptoms.

## Linked entities
