Deciphering the Genomic Traits of Multi-Enterocin-Producing E. faecium 1702 from Bottarga: A WGS-Based Characterization.

ABSTRACT: Enterococcus spp. produce diverse bioactive molecules used for biotechnological purposes or as probiotic agents for livestock and human health. The main aim of this study was to decipher the genetic traits using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of a bacteriocinogenic Enterococus faecium 1702 strain showing diverse probiotic traits. Genetic traits of the strain were determined by performing WGS using the NovaSeq6000 platform followed by consecutive sequence analysis using appropriate software. WGS showed that the genome of the E. faecium 1702 strain has a size of 2,621,416 bp, with a GC content of 38.03%. The strain belonged to the sequence type ST722 not known as a human clonal lineage. The strain was free of genes encoding clinically relevant antibiotic resistance; in ad
