Abstract

Enterococcus faecalis 24FS is a bacteriocin-producing, multiply antibiotic-resistant, and potentially virulent bacterium isolated from healthy infant feces. The draft 2.9-Mb genome sequence revealed 2,968 protein-encoding genes; 11 antibiotic resistance, 8 virulence, and 3 bacteriocin genes; and 2 plasmids, 4 prophages, 30 insertion sequence (IS) elements, 1 transposon, and 1 integron.
