Abstract
Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Rothia aeria type strain JCM 11412, isolated from air in the Russian space laboratory Mir. Recently, there has been an increasing number of reports on infections caused by R. aeria. The genomic information will enable researchers to identify the pathogenicity of this organism.
Highlights
Rothia aeria was first isolated from an air sample in the Russian space laboratory Mir, this organism is mainly found in the oral cavity [1, 2]
Gram staining to determine the morphological characteristics of R. aeria revealed a resemblance to Nocardia species [3], which might explain the paucity of isolation from clinical specimens
We present the full-genome sequence of R. aeria type strain JCM 11412
Summary
Rothia aeria was first isolated from an air sample in the Russian space laboratory Mir, this organism is mainly found in the oral cavity [1, 2]. Gram staining to determine the morphological characteristics of R. aeria revealed a resemblance to Nocardia species [3], which might explain the paucity of isolation from clinical specimens. The 16S rRNA gene-based PCR approach is currently available [12], and neither complete genomic information nor the genetic engineering system is available for this species.
