Abstract

The probiotic properties of Bifidobacterium breve CECT7263, as well as its safety, have been the focus of in several studies since 2008, including the sequencing of its genome in 2012. This study aims to complete the available genomic data to deepen the knowledge of some phenotypic characteristics of this strain.
