Abstract
Enterococcus faecium is commonly isolated from the human gastrointestinal tract; however, important intraspecies variations exist with relevance for host health and well-being. Here, we describe the draft genome sequence of E. faecium PC4.1, a clade B strain isolated from human feces.

E. faecium PC4.1 was isolated from a pooled fecal sample collected from healthy human subjects by plating aerobically on bile esculin azide agar
Summary
Enterococcus faecium is commonly isolated from the human gastrointestinal tract; important intraspecies variations exist with relevance for host health and well-being. We describe the draft genome sequence of E. faecium PC4.1, a clade B strain isolated from human feces. E. faecium is one of the most abundant enterococcal species in the adult colon, where it likely plays an important role in maintaining host health and well-being, as has been suggested by human and animal studies [3,4,5].
