title: Genome Sequences of Potential ProbioticLactobacillus rhamnosusIsolates from Human Infants.
abstract: Probiotics provide health benefits to their hosts, including modulation of host immune response, inhibition of colonization by pathogens, modulation of the gut microbiota, and epithelial barrier enhancement. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of two newly isolatedLactobacillus rhamnosusstrains of probiotic potential from healthy human infants.
