Draft Genome Sequences of 18 Oral Streptococcus Strains That Encode Amylase-Binding Proteins

Abstract excerpt

A number of commensal oral streptococcal species produce a heterogeneous group of proteins that mediate binding of salivary α-amylase. This interaction likely influences streptococcal colonization of the oral cavity. Here, we present draft genome sequences of several strains of oral streptococcal species that bind human salivary amylase.
