Enterococcus faecalis Genome sequencing and assembly. Enterococcus faecalis

Enterococcus species are natural inhabitants of the intestinal tract in humans and animals, and due to their ubiquity in human and animal feces and their persistence in the environment, enterococci are considered indicators of fecal contamination in water. Moreover, enterococci serve as important key indicator bacteria for several human and veterinary resistance surveillance systems.
