# Whole genome sequences of novel Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus salivarius, and Streptococcus anginosus strains isolated from human gastric biopsy tissue

## TL;DR

Researchers sequenced three new bacteria strains from human stomach tissue to understand their role in gastric cancer risk.

## Contribution

The study provides whole genome sequences of three novel bacterial strains from gastric biopsy samples.

## Key findings

- Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus salivarius, and Streptococcus anginosus strains were isolated from gastric biopsies.
- Genome sequencing was performed to explore their potential pathogenic or protective roles.
- The strains were sequenced using Illumina MiSeq for phylogenetic analysis.

## Abstract

Three novel bacterial strains, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus salivarius, and Streptococcus anginosus, were cultured from human gastric biopsy tissue from Colombian, South America patients with a high risk for gastric cancer. Bacteria were sequenced using Illumina MiSeq technology for phylogenetic characterization and identification of genetic mechanisms conferring pathogenic or protective potential.
