Helicobacter pylori Puno120

Helicobacter pylori Puno120 is a microaerophilic, Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and single-cell arrangement. This organism is notable for its presence in host-associated habitats, where it establishes a biotic relationship as a free-living entity. H. pylori Puno120 possesses two membranes and two replicons, which are indicative of its complex genetic structure. The bacterium's optimal growth temperature is 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is typical for many organisms that colonize the human gastrointestinal tract. H. pylori Puno120 is non-motile, though it does possess flagella, which may play a role in its interaction with the host environment. The presence of H. pylori in the host-associated habitat suggests an ecological role in the gastrointestinal microbiome. Understanding its traits, such as its microaerophilic nature and specific temperature requirements, can provide insights into its adaptability and survival mechanisms within the human body. The accessions NC_017377.1 and NC_017378.1 serve as references for further genomic studies, which could enhance our understanding of H. pylori Puno120's pathogenic potential and its interactions within the host.
