Streptococcus gordonii str. Challis substr. CH1

Taxonomy
Names	Streptococcus gordonii str. Challis substr. CH1
Accession numbers	NC_009785
Background	Streptococci are non-motile, Gram-positive bacteria with widely varying pathogenic potential. S.gordonii is a commensal plaque bacterium, and is a primary colonizer of the multispecies biofilm on tooth surfaces forming dental plaque and possibly cavities and contributing to gun disease. It is also an agent of endocarditis. It is naturally transformable. (EBI Integr8)
