Query: NC_014554:1339566 Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum ST-III chromosome, Lineage: Lactobacillus plantarum; Lactobacillus; Lactobacillaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria General Information: Lactobacillus plantarum (strain ST-III) is an aerobic, non spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from plant material, and the gastrointestinal tract of animals. It is used in the production of fermented foods such as saurkraut, kimchi and sourdough bread. L. plantarum is also of interest as a probiotic to maintain and regulate the human intestinal microflora.

General Information: This strain is a strongly adherent, slime-producing, pathogenic strain isolated from a patient with intravascular catheter-associated sepsis. Common skin bacterium. Staphylcocci are generally found inhabiting the skin and mucous membranes of mammals and birds. Some members of this genus can be found as human commensals and these are generally believed to have the greatest pathogenic potential in opportunistic infections. This organism is the most prevalent and persistent Staphylococcus species on human skin. Has emerged as a common cause of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections, including catheter-associated infections and septicemia, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Highly resistant to many antibiotics including penicillins and cephalosporins.
