Genomic characteristics of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus strains isolated from blood.

ABSTRACT: Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus is widely recognized for its health-promoting properties, which have led to its broad application in the production of food and dietary supplements. Nevertheless, although rare and typically limited to patients with underlying conditions, adverse effects have also been reported. In this study, we sequenced and characterized the genomes of seven L. rhamnosus strains isolated from blood. Using a hybrid approach that combined Illumina and Oxford Nanopore technologies, we obtained complete genomes ranging from 2.96 to 3.13 Mb, with a GC content of 46.7-46.8%. Comparative analyses with publicly available L. rhamnosus genomes revealed that these isolates were genetically related to strains from highly diverse origins, including plants, dairy products, dietary supplem
