Streptococcus oralis is a commensal viridans group streptococcus of the human oral cavity and a frequent cause of endovascular infection. Here, we report the complete whole-genome sequence of S. oralis strain SF100, which was originally isolated from the blood of a patient with infective endocarditis. This strain contains the lysogenic bacteriophage SM1, which enhances the virulence of SF100 in animal models of endocardial infection.
口腔链球菌是人类口腔中的一种共生草绿色链球菌,也是血管内感染的常见病因。在此,我们报告口腔链球菌SF100菌株的完整全基因组序列,该菌株最初从一名感染性心内膜炎患者的血液中分离得到。该菌株含有溶原性噬菌体SM1,其在感染性心内膜炎动物模型中增强了SF100的毒力。
