Abstract

Here, we sequence and analyze a biofilm-forming strain of Enterococcus faecalis BAU_Ef01 isolated from a shrimp in Bangladesh. The whole genome of the strain had a length of 2,862,301 bp, 38 contigs, an average G+C content of 37.36%, 80.0× genome coverage, and 35 predicted antibiotic resistance and virulence genes each.

Keywords: Bangladesh; E. faecalis; antimicrobial resistance; biofilm; virulence; white shrimp; whole-genome sequencing.
