Abstract

We report the genome sequences of four Enterococcus faecium phages isolated from environmental wastewater in Kenya. They are double-stranded DNA phages with genomes varying in length from 42,231 to 43,348 bp, with G+C contents ranging from 34.96% to 35.2%. The genomes contain 78-82 coding sequences.

Keywords: Enterococcus faecium; Kenya; bacteriophage; multidrug resistance; phage therapy.
