Complete genome sequence of multidrug-resistant Enterococcus faecalis strain JF4H-114 isolated from the feces of a swine farm worker

Enterococcus faecalis is a nosocomial opportunistic pathogen capable of acquiring and transferring antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. The multidrug-resistant E. faecalis strain JF4H-114, belonging to sequence type 620, was isolated from the feces of a swine farm worker. The genome of strain JF4H-114 consisted of a chromosome of 2,796,215 bp (37.7% G + C content) and a plasmid of 92,100 bp (34.6% G + C content). Genome annotation identified 2,802 protein coding sequences, as well as 12 rRNA and 62 tRNA genes. While the quinupristin/dalfopristin resistant gene, lsaA, was identified on the chromosome, catA8, aac(6’)-le-aph(2’’)-Ia, aad(6), tetL, and tetM were found on the plasmid which were responsible for the resistance to chloramphenicol, gentamicin, streptomycin, and tetracycline, respectively.
