Campylobacter concisus ATCC 51562

Campylobacter concisus ATCC 51562 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and microaerophilic oxygen requirement. This organism is notable for its cell arrangement, which can be observed as either chains or singles. Campylobacter concisus possesses flagella, although it is non-motile. It has a mesophilic temperature range, indicating optimal growth at moderate temperatures typically found in host environments. The bacterium has a unique cellular structure, comprising two membranes and a single replicon, which is indicative of its classification within the Proteobacteria phylum. Campylobacter concisus is host-associated, suggesting its ecological niche is closely tied to living hosts, although it also exhibits a free-living biotic relationship. The presence of Campylobacter concisus in various host-associated environments may indicate its potential role in the microbiota of those hosts. Its microaerophilic nature allows it to thrive in environments with reduced oxygen levels, such as the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and humans. Understanding the ecological roles of Campylobacter concisus could provide insights into its interactions within host microbiomes and its potential implications for health and disease.
