Enterococcus canintestini 49, isolated from dog feces, is active against Clostridium perfringens , vancomycin-resistant enterococci, and Listeria monocytogenes Its draft genome sequence reported herein contains a gene cluster encoding multiple bacteriocins and indicates the absence of genes for virulence factors. These characteristics signify the strain's potential for use as a probiotic.
