High-Quality Whole Genome Sequence of a Linezolid-Resistant and Vancomycin-Susceptible Enterococcus faecalis Isolate ES-2-1 from a Pig Stool in South Korea

초록

We report the whole genome sequence of a linezolid-resistant and vancomycin-susceptible Enterococcus faecalis strain, ES-2-1, which was isolated from a pig stool in South Korea. The assembled genome of ES-2-1 consists of a 2,648,168-bp circular chromosome containing the optrA gene (encoding the ABC-F type ribosomal protection protein), an 84,891-bp plasmid containing numerous antimicrobial resistance genes, and an 82,106-bp cryptic plasmid. The ES-2-1 strain belongs to sequence type 1024 (ST1024) and carries multidrug resistant genes including the optrA (oxazolidinone phenicol transferable resistance A) gene, which confers linezolid resistance.
