title: Complete genome sequence of the serotype k Streptococcus mutans strain LJ23.
abstract: Streptococcus mutans is the major pathogen of dental caries and occasionally causes infective endocarditis. Here we report the complete genome sequence of serotype k S. mutans strain LJ23, which was recently isolated from the oral cavity of a Japanese patient.
