Genome Announc. 2017 May 4;5(18):e00297-17. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00297-17.

Abstract

Lactobacillus reuteri CECT8605 has shown potential probiotic properties in both in vitro and in vivo assays. Besides its beneficial characteristics, general aspects concerning genetic stability and safety for human consumption have been studied. Its genome sequence has been a useful tool to support preliminary conclusions based on empirical observations.
