Helicobacter pylori Puno135

Helicobacter pylori Puno135 is a microaerophilic, Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spiral shape (spirilla) and single-cell arrangement. This organism is adapted for life in host-associated environments, typically residing in the gastric mucosa of humans and other animals. It possesses a single replicon and is surrounded by two membranes, a feature characteristic of its Gram-negative classification. With an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, Helicobacter pylori Puno135 thrives within the mesophilic temperature range, which is conducive to its survival in warm-blooded hosts. The bacterium is immobile, despite the presence of flagella, which are often associated with motility in other bacterial species. Notably, Helicobacter pylori Puno135 has a free-living biotic relationship, indicating that it can survive independently of a host under certain conditions, although its natural habitat is closely linked to host environments. The accession number for this strain is NC_017379.1, which provides a reference for further genomic studies and analysis. The ecological insight gleaned from these traits suggests that Helicobacter pylori Puno135 plays a complex role in its host's gastric ecosystem. Its ability to thrive in microaerophilic conditions and its relationship with the host may influence gastric health and disease dynamics, such as peptic ulcers and gastric cancer, highlighting the significance of understanding its biology in medical microbiology.
