Intra-species Genomic and Physiological Variability Impact Stress Resistance in Strains of Probiotic Potential

Abstract excerpt

Large-scale microbiome studies have established that most of the diversity contained in the gastrointestinal tract is represented at the strain level; however, exhaustive genomic and physiological characterization of human isolates is still lacking. With increased use of probiotics as interventions for gastrointestinal disorders, genomic and functional characterization of novel microorganisms becomes essential....
