Complete genome sequence of the ureolytic Streptococcus salivarius strain 57.I

Abstract

Streptococcus salivarius 57.I is one of the most abundant and highly ureolytic bacteria in the human mouth. It can utilize urea as the sole nitrogen source via the activity of urease. Complete genome sequencing of S. salivarius 57.I revealed a chromosome and a phage which are absent in strain SK126. © 2011, American Society for Microbiology.
