Novel Probiotic Mechanisms of the Oral Bacterium Streptococcus sp. A12 as Explored with Functional Genomics

Abstract excerpt

Advances in defining the composition of health-associated biofilms have highlighted the important role of beneficial species in maintaining health. Comparatively little, however, has been done to address the genomic and physiological bases underlying the probiotic mechanisms of beneficial commensals. In this study, we explored the ability of a novel oral bacterial isolate, Streptococcus A12, to compete with the...
