Key Points

  • To present and analyze the draft genomes of specific bacteria isolated from a catheter post-liver transplantation.
  • Isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, and Enterococcus faecium from a bilioenteric catheter.
  • Genome sequencing and analysis of isolated strains.
  • Draft genomes sizes were established as 5.58 Mb for K. pneumoniae, 2.95 Mb for E. faecalis, and 2.78 Mb for E. faecium.
  • G+C content was measured, with values of 57.25% for K. pneumoniae, 37.6% for E. faecalis, and 37.99% for E. faecium.

Abstract

ABSTRACT We present draft genomes of Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae ), Enterococcus faecalis ( E. faecalis ), and Enterococcus faecium ( E. faecium ) isolated from a bilioenteric catheter after liver transplantation. Genome sizes were 5.58 Mb, 2.95 Mb, and 2.78 Mb, with G+C contents of 57.25%, 37.6%, and 37.99%, respectively, highlighting biofilm-associated bile duct colonizers.
