Campylobacter concisus str. ATCC 33237

Campylobacter concisus strain ATCC 33237 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and tendency to form chains or exist as singles. As a microaerophilic organism, it thrives in environments with reduced oxygen levels, which is reflective of its habitat associated with host organisms. This particular strain is often found in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals, suggesting a potential role in the microbial communities residing within host intestines. The microaerophilic nature of C. concisus indicates that it may be adapted to specific niches within the host that are low in oxygen, which could influence its interactions with other microbial species. Understanding the ecological role of C. concisus in host-associated environments may provide insights into its contribution to gut microbiota dynamics and potential interactions with host immune responses.
