Streptococcus iniae

Streptococcus iniae is a Gram-positive cocci that exhibits non-motile characteristics and is nonsporulating. This bacterium is classified as a facultative anaerobe and utilizes a chemoheterotrophic mode of nutrition, allowing it to thrive in various environments. Its optimal growth temperature is around 30.0°C, and it is categorized as mesophilic, indicating a preference for moderate temperature ranges. S. iniae has been identified as pathogenic to both animals and humans, suggesting its potential impact on health within these populations. The organism possesses a single replicon, and its genomic data is accessible under the accession QLQD00000000.1. This microbe's ability to adapt to multiple habitats may contribute to its pathogenicity and survival in diverse ecological niches, highlighting its role in both environmental and health-related contexts.
