Background    Enterococcus faecalis , the type strain of the genus  Enterococcus , is not only a commensal bacterium in the gastrointestinal tract in vertebrates and invertebrates, but also causes serious disease as an opportunistic pathogen. To date, genome sequences have been published for over four hundred  E. faecalis  strains; however, pathogenicity of these microbes remains complicated. To increase our knowledge of  E. faecalis  virulence factors, we isolated strain CBA7120 from the feces of an 81-year-old female from the Republic of Korea and performed a comparative genomic analysis.    Results  The genome sequence of  E. faecalis  CBA7120 is 3,134,087 bp in length, with a G + C content of 37.35 mol%, and is comprised of four contigs with an N50 value of 2,922,046 bp. The genome showed high similarity with other strains of  E. faecalis , including OG1RF, T13, 12107 and T20, based on OrthoANI values. Strain CBA7120 contains 374 pan-genome orthologous groups (POGs) as singletons, including “Phages, Prophages, Transposable elements, Plasmids,” “Carbohydrates,” “DNA metabolism,” and “Virulence, Disease and Defense” subsystems. Genes related to multidrug resistance efflux pumps were annotated in the genome.    Conclusions  The comparative genomic analysis of  E. faecalis  strains presented in this study was performed using a variety of analysis methods and will facilitate future identification of hypothetical proteins.
