Project description:Oscillibacter ruminantium strain GH1 was isolated from the rumen of Korean native cattle (HanWoo; Bos taurus coreanae). Here, we present the 3.07-Mb draft genome of this strain, which could reveal the presence of certain fiber-specific glycoside hydrolases and butyric acid-producing genes.
Project description:The genus Oscillibacter has been known since 2007, but no association to human infection has been reported. Here, we present four cases of Oscillibacter ruminantium bacteremia from hospitals across Denmark from 2001 to 2010. Correct identification is now possible, as the 16S rRNA gene sequence was recently made publicly available.
