Draft genome sequence data of a clinical Enterococcus faecalis isolate SHH039 from a patient with cholecystitis from a tertiary care hospital in Sabah, Malaysia.

An Enterococcus faecalis strain SHH039 was isolated from a 68 year old man who was hospitalised with cholecystitis. The genomic sequence of this isolate which had a size of 2,990,081 bp and 2,663 proteins with functional assignments is presented here. Analysis of the genome revealed Enterococcus faecalis with multiple antibiotic resistance genes which may be associated with acute cholecystitis. It may be not clear if the infection symptoms are the consequence of enterococci manifestation. However, this opportunistic organism may play a minor role in the disease.
