Interpretive Summary: This short publication announces the availability of 5 genome sequences of Enterobacteriaceae frequently isolated from cucumber fermentations, such as Leclercia, Enterobacter and Pantoea. While the bacterial species studied are non-pathogenic, they substantially influence the quality of pickles, particularly the incidence of bloater defect.

Technical Abstract: We report five whole-genome sequences, along with annotations, representing Enterobacteriaceae from the genera Enterobacter (n = 1), Pantoea (n = 1), and Leclercia (n = 3) isolated from commercial cucumber fermentations performed in North Carolina and Minnesota, USA.
