Abstract excerpt
Lactobacillus mulieris is a recently described species, reportedly isolated from human urine, vagina, and gut. Previous genomic studies of L. mulieris highlighted significant genetic diversity among its strains. To gain a deeper understanding of this genomic diversity, we conducted a comprehensive genomic comparison of 70 L. mulieris strains from diverse sources. Phylogenomic and genome relatedness analysis...
