Salmonella enterica subsp. salamae serovar 55:k:z39 str. 1315K

Salmonella enterica subsp. salamae serovar 55:k:z39 str. 1315K is a microaerophilic, Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and chains or singles cell arrangement. It is a chemoorganotroph, utilizing organic compounds as its energy source. This strain is associated with host organisms, indicating its role in various biological interactions within host environments. The bacterium possesses flagella, enabling motility, but it does not exhibit mobility as a free-living organism. It is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, which aligns with the typical body temperature of warm-blooded hosts. The strain has a complex genomic structure, featuring three replicons and two membranes, characteristic of many Gram-negative bacteria. The presence of multiple replicons suggests potential genetic diversity and adaptability, which may play a role in its survival and pathogenicity. The ecological relationship of Salmonella enterica subsp. salamae serovar 55:k:z39 str. 1315K as a free-living organism within host-associated environments highlights its potential to thrive in a variety of ecological niches, potentially impacting both its hosts and surrounding microbial communities. Accessions associated with this strain include NZ_CP022141.1, NZ_CP022139.1, and NZ_CP022140.1, which provide genomic insights for further understanding of its biology and interactions within ecosystems.
