Draft Genome Sequence of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus faecium UEL170 (Sequence Type 412), Isolated from a Patient with Urinary Tract Infection in a Tertiary Hospital in Southern Brazil

Enterococcus faecium is a leading cause of health care-associated infections, with specific lineages circulating in hospital settings worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the multidrug-resistant and biofilm-producing E. faecium UEL170, sequence type 412 (ST412), isolated from an i...

Description
Summary:Enterococcus faecium is a leading cause of health care-associated infections, with specific lineages circulating in hospital settings worldwide. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the multidrug-resistant and biofilm-producing E. faecium UEL170, sequence type 412 (ST412), isolated from an inpatient with a urinary tract infection. This strain is a member of clonal complex 17 (CC17), a globally hospital-associated clone.
