Abstract
ABSTRACTWe present here draft genome sequences of Enterococcus mundtii strains K7-EM, P2-EM, C11-EM, and H18-EM, which were isolated from slaughterhouse equipment, carcasses, and personnel of small- and medium-sized beef slaughterhouses in Kenya.
Highlights
Enterococcus mundtii strains are bacteriocin-producing enterococci that occur in natural environments, humans, and various animal species [1, 2]
The four putative hemolysin genes, which were previously identified in E. mundtii QU 25 [10], were identified in all four strains using BLAST searches
H18-EM had one confirmed Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs), which was linked to the CRISPR-associated genes cas1, cas2, cas4, cas9, and csn2, classifying this array as a type II-A system [12]
Summary
Enterococcus mundtii strains are bacteriocin-producing enterococci that occur in natural environments, humans, and various animal species [1, 2]. No virulence factors or phages were detected in any of the strains using VirulenceFinder version 1.5 and PHASTER, respectively [8, 9]. The four putative hemolysin genes (hemolysin, hemolysin III, hemolysin A, and ␣-hemolysin), which were previously identified in E. mundtii QU 25 [10], were identified in all four strains using BLAST searches (https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi).
