Genome sequencing of probiotic Escherichia coli G1/2. Escherichia coli strain:G1/2

Some Escherichia coli strains have been shown to provide beneficial effects on human and animal health. Six of those strains are contained in the probiotic drug Symbioflor2, provided by SymbioPharm (Herborn-Hörbach, Germany). While these product is used in humans for decades without severve side effects and in this way considered as safe it is an essential step to ensure complete safety by evaluating their whole genomic content. In this context, the genome of the probiotic Escherichia coli G1-2 is presented here in draft form.
