Draft genome of a human gut-derived <i>Blautia</i> sp. that ameliorates colitis and colitis-associated sociability deficits in mice
<i>Blautia</i> is a genus of anaerobic, gram-positive bacteria commonly found in mammalian gastrointestinal tracts. Yet, how variations among different <i>Blautia</i> strains can impact host health is poorly understood. We present a <i>Blautia</i> sp. genome isolated from human feces whose supplementation to mice can ameliorate colitis severity and associated sociability deficits.
