# Complete genome sequence of Streptococcus oralis subsp. tigurinus J22, a model strain for antagonistic interaction against Streptococcus mutans

## TL;DR

This paper reports the complete genome sequence of a bacteria that can fight tooth decay-causing microbes.

## Contribution

The study provides the complete genome sequence of Streptococcus oralis subsp. tigurinus J22, a model for antagonistic interactions.

## Key findings

- The genome of S. oralis subsp. tigurinus J22 is 1,967,320 bp with 41.1% GC content.
- The strain produces hydrogen peroxide and antagonizes Streptococcus mutans.
- It serves as a model for studying microbial antagonism in the oral cavity.

## Abstract

Streptococcus oralis subsp. tigurinus strain J22, a potent hydrogen peroxide-producing oral commensal. Given the antagonistic action against a cariogenic pathogen, this strain can be used as a model bacterium to characterize microbial antagonistic interactions. S. oralis J22 has a genome sequence of 1,967,320 bp along with 41.1% GC content.
