Pasteurella testudinis DSM 23072

Pasteurella testudinis DSM 23072 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology and the presence of flagella, which contributes to its motility. This organism is strictly aerobic, requiring oxygen for its growth and metabolic processes. It is notable for possessing a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure. The strain is cataloged under the accession number FWWV00000000.1, which facilitates its identification and study within microbial databases. Its classification within the Pasteurella genus suggests potential relevance to both veterinary and medical microbiology, as members of this group are often associated with infections in animals and, in some cases, humans. Biologically, the ability to thrive in aerobic environments positions Pasteurella testudinis as an organism likely adapted to habitats rich in oxygen, possibly including the respiratory tracts of warm-blooded animals or environments where its host organisms reside. This trait may also have implications for its ecological role, particularly in interactions with other microbial communities or its influence on the health of its hosts. Understanding the specific ecological niche and interactions of Pasteurella testudinis can provide insights into its role in health and disease, potentially informing strategies for managing infections associated with this bacterium.
