Title: Complete genome sequence of the commensal Enterococcus faecalis 62, isolated from a healthy Norwegian infant Brede DA, Snipen LG, Ussery DW, Nederbragt AJ, Nes IF Ref: Journal of Bacteriology, 193:2377, 2011 : PubMed
The genome of Enterococcus faecalis 62, a commensal isolate from a healthy Norwegian infant, revealed multiple adaptive traits to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) environment and the milk-containing diet of breast-fed infants. Adaptation to a commensal existence was emphasized by lactose and other carbohydrate metabolism genes within genomic islands, accompanied by the absence of virulence traits.
