Abstract
Enterococcus casseliflavus is a commensal bacterium present in the intestinal microbiota of different animals. Previous studies have found that strains isolated from livestock are often resistant to many different antibiotics. Here, we present three E. casseliflavus strains, UFMG-H7, UFMG-H8, and UFMG-H9, isolated from urine collected from healthy dairy heifers in Brazil.
Highlights
Enterococcus casseliflavus is a commensal of the intestinal tract of livestock animals, such as cattle, horses, and sheep (1, 2)
The genome coverage was calculated using BBMap v38.47, and the genomes were annotated by the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) v4.11 (8)
The genomes were examined for plasmids using PlasmidFinder v2.0 (9) and for antibiotic resistance genes using ResFinder v3.2 (10)
