Complete genome sequence of bile-isolated Enterococcus avium strain 352.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Enterococcus avium is a Gram-positive pathogenic bacterium belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. E. avium can cause bacteremia, peritonitis, and intracranial suppurative infection. However, the mechanism of its pathogenesis and its adaptation to a special niche is still unclear.

Results

In this study, the E. avium strain 352 was isolated from human bile and whole genome sequencing was performed. The E. avium strain 352 consists of a circular 4,794,392 bp chromosome as well as an 87,705 bp plasmid. The GC content of the chromosome is 38.98%. There are 4905 and 99 protein coding sequences in the chromosome and the plasmid, respectively. The genome of the E. avium strain 352 contains number of genes reported to be associated w
