Draft Genome Sequence of a Novel Lactobacillus salivarius Strain Isolated from Piglet

Genome Announc. 2014 Feb 13;2(1):e01231-13. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.01231-13.

Abstract

Lactobacillus salivarius is part of the vertebrate indigenous microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract, oral cavity, and milk. The properties associated with some L. salivarius strains have led to their use as probiotics. Here we describe the draft genome of the pig isolate L. salivarius cp400, providing insights into host-niche specialization.
