Abstract

Enterococcus faecium is a multifaceted bacterial species. It is part of the natural human microbiota, it grows in a variety of traditional foods, and emerging multiresistant clones are a leading cause of nosocomial infections. Here, we present draft genomes of five E. faecium isolates originating from traditional Montenegrin brine cheeses.

Highlights

  • Enterococcus faecium is a multifaceted bacterial species

  • The GeneMatrix bacterial and yeast genomic DNA purification kit (EURx, Gdansk, Poland) was used for the isolation of genomic DNA from overnight cultures grown in M17 or MRS broth (HiMedia, India)

  • Default parameters were used for all software unless otherwise specified
