Strains belonging to Bidifobacterium longum subsp. infantis have been shown to dominate the microbial gut population of breastfed infants, producing increased levels of acetate. They were also proposed to play a key role in the maturation of the immune system and the improvement of the gut barrier function in early infancy. The oldest known strains available today of B. longum subsp. infantis were isolated in the 1950 by Norris and co-workers (Norris et al., 1950, Howell and Pine, 1956). The type strain ATCC 15697 is one of these strains for which several versions of its genome sequence exist. The B. longum subsp. infantis strain ATCC 17930 (also deposited at BCCM/LMG under LMG 11588) is another strain isolated by Norris et al., which was largely less studied and for which no public genome sequence exists. Having the genome sequence of B. longum subsp. infantis ATCC 17930 strain allows to compare it with the ATCC 15697 strain genome and identify the characteristics and specificities of each.
