Schaalia turicensis R31
Swabs were frozen in Amies transport media with 10% glycerol. Isolation occurred under anaerobic conditions at 37C on Tryptic Soy Agar supplemented with 5% sheeps blood growth for 48 hours. Bacterial DNA was extracted with the Qiagen DNeasy PowerSoil Pro kit (MO BIO Laboratories, Carlsbad) and sequenced at the University of Arizona PANDA Core for Genomics & Microbiome Research. Paired-end sequencingSequencing was performed using Illumina's PCR-Free Library Prep and the NextSeq 1000 Platform (300-cycle)
