An Enterococcus faecalis strain SHH039 was isolated from a 68 year old man who was hospitalised with cholecystitis. The genomic sequence of this isolate which had a size of 2,990,081 bp and 2,663 proteins with functional assignments is presented here. Analysis of the genome revealed Enterococ- cus faecalis with multiple antibiotic resistance genes which may be associated with acute cholecystitis. It may be not clear if the infection symptoms are the consequence of ente- rococci manifestation. However, this opportunistic organism may play a minor role in the disease.
