Query: NC_012004:470492 Streptococcus uberis 0140J, complete genome Lineage: Streptococcus uberis; Streptococcus; Streptococcaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria General Information: This strain was isolated from a clinical bovine mastitis case. Streptococci are Gram-positive, nonmotile, nonsporeforming, catalase-negative cocci that occur in pairs or chains. Members of this genus vary widely in pathogenic potential. Most streptococci are facultative anaerobes, and some are obligate anaerobes. Streptococcus uberis is one of the causative agents of bovine mastitis, one of the most common infections of dairy cattle.

General Information: Most streptococci are facultative anaerobes, and some are obligate anaerobes. Serologic grouping is based on antigenic differences in cell wall carbohydrates, in cell wall pili-associated protein, and in the polysaccharide capsule in group B streptococci. This is a species of Gram-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, cocci. It has been isolated from human throat, blood and urine and from ovine clinical samples. It can cause subclinical mastitis in sheep and is involved in dental plaque formation in humans
