Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae HS11286

Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae HS11286 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is facultatively anaerobic and exhibits mobility due to the presence of flagella. It is a chemoheterotroph, deriving its energy from organic compounds. This bacterium typically exists in a host-associated habitat, indicating a potential role in the microbiota of various organisms, including humans. K. pneumoniae HS11286 can be found in various cell arrangements, including chains, pairs, and singles. It is non-sporulating and demonstrates a mesophilic temperature range, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C. This aligns with its association with warm-blooded hosts, where it likely thrives. The bacterium possesses five replicons and is characterized by having two membranes, which is typical for Gram-negative bacteria and contributes to its structural integrity and interaction with the environment. As a free-living organism, K. pneumoniae HS11286 may play a role in both pathogenic and non-pathogenic interactions within its ecological niche. Its ability to thrive in host-associated habitats suggests that it might influence the health and microbiome dynamics of its host. The traits of this bacterium, particularly its facultative anaerobic metabolism and mesophilic nature, highlight its adaptability to varying environmental conditions, enabling it to occupy diverse ecological niches. Understanding the characteristics of K. pneumoniae HS11286 can provide insights into its ecological roles and potential impacts on host health.
