The genome of Enterococcus faecalis 62, a commensal isolate from a healthy Norwegian infant, revealed multiple adaptive traits to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) environment and the milk-containing diet of breast-fed infants. Adaptation to a commensal existence was emphasized by lactose and other carbohydrate metabolism genes within genomic islands, accompanied by the absence of virulence traits.
肠球菌 62 基因组,一种源自健康挪威婴儿的共生体分离株,揭示了其对胃肠道 (GIT) 环境和母乳喂养婴儿含乳饮食的多种适应性特征。基因组岛中的乳糖和其他碳水化合物代谢基因强调了对共生生存的适应,同时缺乏毒力特征。
