Biofilm-derived bile duct microbiota in liver transplantation: high-quality genomes of Klebsiella pneumoniae , Enterococcus faecalis , and Enterococcus faecium

Year: 2026

Type: article

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.
