Abstract
ABSTRACTRecently, we reported the draft genome sequence of Streptococcus gallolyticus NTS31106099. It was found to contain a previously unknown putative Tn916-like conjugative transposon, Tn6263. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two other clinical isolates, NTS31301958 and NTS31307655. Both of them contain another novel element, Tn6331, which is highly similar to Tn6263.
Highlights
We reported the draft genome sequence of Streptococcus gallolyticus NTS31106099
Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus is a Gram-positive gastrointestinal commensal and opportunistic pathogen often found in animals and humans
The clinical relevance of S. gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus to humans is due to its ability to occasionally cause various clinical entities, mainly infective endocarditis and bacteremia [1, 2]
Summary
We reported the draft genome sequence of Streptococcus gallolyticus NTS31106099. We report the draft genome sequences of two other clinical isolates, NTS31301958 and NTS31307655. Both of them contain another novel element, Tn6331, which is highly similar to Tn6263. The clinical relevance of S. gallolyticus subsp. Gallolyticus (previously Streptococcus bovis biotype I) to humans is due to its ability to occasionally cause various clinical entities, mainly infective endocarditis and bacteremia [1, 2].
