Abstract

ABSTRACTStreptococcus salivarius strains are significant contributors to the human oral microbiome. Some possess unique fimbriae that give them the ability to coaggregate and colonize particular oral structures. We present here the complete genomes of Streptococcus salivarius Lancefield K−/K+ strains ATCC 25975 and ATCC 27945, which can and cannot, respectively, produce fimbriae.

Highlights

  • Streptococcus salivarius strains are significant contributors to the human oral microbiome

  • Pure cultures of the two strains were provided by American Type Culture Collection (ATCC)

  • A total of 2,044/1,847 coding sequences, 68/68 tRNAs, 18/18 rRNAs, 4/4 ncRNAs, and 1/0 CRISPR array were annotated in the ATCC 25975/27945 genomes, respectively

Summary

Introduction

Streptococcus salivarius strains are significant contributors to the human oral microbiome. Pure cultures of the two strains were provided by American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Cultures of both strains were grown shaking at 37°C overnight in tryptone glucose yeast extract medium.
