Lineage: Streptococcus oligofermentans; Streptococcus; Streptococcaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: An oral commensal, inhibits the growth of the dental caries pathogen Streptococcus mutans by producing large amounts of hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, it can be a potential probiotic for oral health.
Subject: NC_015678:966000 Streptococcus parasanguinis ATCC 15912 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Streptococcus parasanguinis; Streptococcus; Streptococcaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
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
