Draft Genome Sequences of Four Enterococcus cecorum Strains Isolated from American Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus) and Harris's Hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

We report the draft genome sequences of four Enterococcus cecorum strains obtained from cloacal swab specimens collected from three healthy captive wild birds (two Coragyps atratus and one Parabuteo unicinctus) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The genome sizes ranged from 2.38 to 2.55 Mb.

Draft Genome Sequence of Multidrug-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Strain E1298, with a Sequence Type 1274 Profile, Recovered from the Cloacal Microbiome of a Tropical Screech Owl (Megascops choliba) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Enterococcus faecium strain E1298, a representative of the clonal complex 17 (CC17), identified as sequence type 1274 (ST1274) and resistant to multiple classes of antimicrobials, isolated from the cloaca of a tropical screech owl (Megascops choliba) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
