Article Synopsis
  • - The study focused on isolating a bacterium from a healthy adult's mouth in Egypt to explore its possible probiotic benefits, particularly its ability to fight harmful oral bacteria.
  • - The bacterium, identified as NT04 through 16S rRNA gene sequencing, had its entire genome sequenced and analyzed, revealing genes that produce beneficial compounds like bacteriocins, antioxidants, and vitamins, with no signs of pathogenic elements.
  • - The findings suggest that strain NT04 could be a promising candidate for use as a probiotic to combat oral pathogens, showcasing its favorable genomic traits.

species are a long-standing and non-pathogenic commensal bacterium, representing an important part of the normal. is a rarely isolated species from animals and humans, and it was a tiny constituent of human oral cavity and animal intestinal flora, as well as animal-derived foods, particularly dairy products. This study evaluated the security of our strain NT21 by using whole-genome sequencing (WGS), physicochemical features, and antimicrobial activity.
