Abundance, Diversity and Role of ICEs and IMEs in the Adaptation of <i>Streptococcus salivarius</i> to the Environment
<i>Streptococcus salivarius</i> is a significant contributor to the human oral, pharyngeal and gut microbiomes that contribute to the maintenance of health. The high genomic diversity observed in this species is mainly caused by horizontal gene transfer. This work aimed to evaluate the c...
