Complete genome sequences of four lytic bacteriophages against multidrug-resistant <i>Enterococcus faecium</i>
We report the genome sequences of four <i>Enterococcus faecium</i> phages isolated from environmental wastewater in Kenya. They are double-stranded DNA phages with genomes varying in length from 42,231 to 43,348 bp, with G+C contents ranging from 34.96% to 35.2%. The genomes contain 78-82 coding sequences.
