Abstract excerpt

Enterococcus faecium is a major human opportunistic bacterial pathogen and a close relative of the recently established species Enterococcus lactis. As a species, commensal E. lactis remains relatively understudied, and its genetic connectivity with E. faecium is not thoroughly understood. Here, we introduce a large collection of whole-genome sequenced isolates comprising 894 E. faecium and 392 E. lactis genomes....
