Abstract
Herein, we report the draft genome sequence of Enterococcus faecalis ED-NGS-1009, cultivated from a blood sample taken from a neonatal sepsis patient at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom.
Highlights
We report the draft genome sequence of Enterococcus faecalis ED-NGS-1009, cultivated from a blood sample taken from a neonatal sepsis patient at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
In the ClouDx-i project, we are aiming to extend our existing knowledge of currently circulating pathogenic strains linked with blood sepsis in neonates to inform the development of new molecular diagnostic assays
We present the draft genome sequence of an Enterococcus faecalis strain isolated from a preterm neonate at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, in 2013
Summary
We report the draft genome sequence of Enterococcus faecalis ED-NGS-1009, cultivated from a blood sample taken from a neonatal sepsis patient at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom. Enterococcus faecalis is a nosocomial, opportunistic pathogen showing resistance to antibiotics, vancomycin [1,2,3,4]. Preterm neonates are a highly susceptible patient group for bacterial infections [1, 5, 6] and rapid detection of blood sepsis and the causative pathogen are critical steps to enable proper treatment [7,8,9].
