Query: NC_016612:2223357 Klebsiella oxytoca KCTC 1686 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Klebsiella oxytoca; Klebsiella; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This bacterium can cause spontaneous infectious spondylodiscitis (SIS), an uncommon cause of low back pain in adults, but most commonly described in children. This species can be differentiated from Klebsiella pneumoniae by its inability to produce indole from tryptophan.
Subject: NC_015760:123929 Streptococcus salivarius CCHSS3, complete genome
Lineage: Streptococcus salivarius; Streptococcus; Streptococcaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: The commensal bacterium Streptococcus salivarius is predominant specie of the human oropharyngeal tract and exerts an important role in oral ecology. Streptococcus salivarius is an aerobic, gram-positive coccus. This organism is the most common organism isolated from the human oral cavity. Streptococcus salivarius can also be an opportunistic pathogen causing endocarditis, blood infection, and peritonitis. 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.
