Genome sequence and comparative genomic analysis of a clinically important strain CD11-4 of Janibacter melonis isolated from celiac disease patient

ConclusionsGenome annotations ofJ. melonis CD11-4 revealed that it contained similar or more virulence repertoire likeJ. terrae NBRC 107853T. Like other gut pathogens,J. melonis possesses key virulence determinant genes for antibiotic resistance, invasion, adhesion, biofilm formation, iron acquisition and to cope with stress response, thereby indicating that strainJ. melonis CD11-4 could be a gut pathogen.
