Leptospira interrogans str. 2006001854

Leptospira interrogans str. 2006001854 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized as an aerobe and belonging to the spirilla shape category. This organism is associated with host environments, indicating its reliance on living hosts for survival and propagation. Notably, Leptospira interrogans str. 2006001854 possesses flagella, which are integral for its motility; however, this particular strain is described as non-motile. The optimal growth temperature for this strain is 28°C, situating it within the mesophilic temperature range, which typically spans from 20°C to 45°C. The bacterium has a unique cellular structure, consisting of two membranes and a single replicon, which reflects its classification as a member of the genus Leptospira. Understanding the habitat and growth conditions of Leptospira interrogans str. 2006001854 can provide insights into its ecological role and potential pathogenicity. As a host-associated organism, it may play a significant role in the health of its hosts or in the transmission of diseases, such as leptospirosis, which is often linked to contact with contaminated water or animal urine. The specific traits of this strain help inform further research into its biology and ecological relationships, particularly in understanding how environmental factors influence its survival and interaction with hosts.
