Campylobacter lanienae NCTC 13004

Campylobacter lanienae NCTC 13004 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its microaerophilic oxygen requirement, meaning it thrives in environments with reduced oxygen levels. This species possesses true flagella, which facilitate its motility and enable it to navigate through its environment effectively. C. lanienae has a single replicon, which is indicative of its genetic structure. The complete genomic information for this strain is available under the accession number NZ_CP015578.1, providing insights into its genetic makeup and potential functional capabilities. In terms of biological or ecological relevance, Campylobacter species, including C. lanienae, are often associated with foodborne illnesses, particularly in poultry. Their microaerophilic nature and flagella contribute to their survival and colonization in the gastrointestinal tracts of hosts, which can serve as reservoirs for transmission to humans. Understanding the traits of C. lanienae is crucial for assessing its role in food safety and public health, as well as for developing effective control measures against Campylobacter-related infections.
