Abstract: Herein, we highlight the genome sequence of a novel Enterococcus faecalis sequence type 922 (ST922) strain isolated in South Africa. The 3,564,442-bp genome harbored defense systems, a resistome, a virulome, and genetic support, which is of importance to the control of hospital-acquired infections. The genomics of Enterococcus faecalis yields greater understanding into its pathogenesis.<br /> (Copyright © 2019 Shobo et al.)
