We report the draft genome sequence of Lactobacillus sakei strain wikim 22, a Lactobacillus species isolated from kimchi in North Chungcheong Province, South Korea, having 155 contigs with 2,447 genes and an average G+C content of 40.61%.

We report the draft genome sequence of the type strain Lactobacillus pasteurii CRBIP 24.76, which is closely related to L. gigeriorum CRBIP 24.85(T), isolated from a chicken crop. The total length of the 29 contigs is about 1.9 Mb, with a G+C content of 40% and 1,946 coding sequences.

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the Lactobacillus farciminis strain NBRC 111452, isolated from kôso, a Japanese sugar-vegetable fermented beverage. This genome information is of potential use in studies of Lactobacillus farciminis as a probiotic.

Objective. To investigate the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM / Bifidobacterium lactis BL-04 / fructooligosaccharide and Lactobacillus plantarum LP01/ Lactobacillus paracasei LPC00 / fructo-oligosaccharide preparations in the routine clinical management of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) and perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR), respectively. Materials and Methods. Seventy-six and fifty...

The developing intestinal microbiota of breast-fed infants is considered to play an important role in the priming of the infants' mucosal and systemic immunity. Generally, Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus predominate the microbiota of breast-fed infants. In intervention trials it has been shown that lactobacilli can exert beneficial effects on, for example, diarrhea and atopy. However, the Lac...

The present study aims to isolate Lactobacillus species from locally fermented vegetables and to characterize selected isolates for their probiotic potential. Seventeen Lactobacillus strains (9 Lactobacillus plantarum 1, 3 Lactobacillus pentosus, 2 Lactobacillus brevis 1, 2 Lactobacillus brevis 3 and 1 Lactobacillus salivarius) were isolated and tested for their probiotic potential. This includ...

Objective: To determine whether metronidazole has an adverse effect on the growth of Lactobacillus. Methods: Hydrogen peroxideand bacteriocin-producing strains of Lactobacillus were used as test strains. Concentrations of metronidazole used ranged from 128 to 7000 mg/ml. Susceptibility to metronidazole was conducted by the broth microdilution method recommended by the National Committee for Cli...

Lactobacillus fermentum is a normal inhabitant of the human gastrointestinal tract. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of an Indian isolate of the probiotic strain L. fermentum Lf1, isolated from the human gut.

Probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus L-55 was isolated from a healthy human gut. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this organism.
