Enterococcus faecalis strain:LRS29212 Genome sequencing and assembly. Enterococcus faecalis strain:LRS29212

As we know, Linezolid resistance is associated with nucleotide mutation of bacterial 23S rRNA V region, however, many recent reports demonstrate that nucleotide mutations of other gene, including ribosome protein L3 and L22 et al, also participate in linezolid resistance. Therefore the genome of this linezolid- resistant E.fecalis LRS29212 with MIC to 128ug/ml can be used as reference to study the mechanism of linezolid resistance. Moreover, this strain can be also used to study the phylogenics characteristic of E.fecalis worldwide.
