# Closed genome sequence of Fretibacterium fastidiosum, a potential contributor to periodontal disease

## TL;DR

This paper presents the complete genome sequence of Fretibacterium fastidiosum, a newly identified oral bacterium linked to periodontal disease.

## Contribution

The study provides the first closed genome sequence of Fretibacterium fastidiosum, enabling further research into its role in oral health.

## Key findings

- The closed genome sequence of Fretibacterium fastidiosum was successfully obtained.
- This bacterium is a recently identified member of the human oral microbiome.
- The genome data may help understand its potential contribution to periodontal disease.

## Abstract

Human oral microbiome consists of diverse bacteria. Not all oral bacteria are well characterized due to challenges in cultivation in vitro. In this study, we report the closed genome sequence of one of the recently identified oral bacteria, Fretibacterium fastidiosum.
