Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis cfvi03/293

Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis cfvi03/293 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and microaerophilic oxygen requirement. This organism is motile, possessing flagella that facilitate its movement. It typically exists in chains or as singles and is classified as mesophilic, thriving in moderate temperature ranges. In terms of genomic structure, Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis cfvi03/293 has four replicons and is surrounded by two membranes, which is characteristic of its Gram-negative classification. The bacterium is host-associated, indicating a specific relationship with its host organisms, yet it is also noted to have a free-living biotic relationship. The significance of Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis cfvi03/293 in ecology could be tied to its role in animal health, particularly in reproductive diseases in livestock, which can have implications for agricultural practices and livestock management. The presence of multiple accessions (NZ_CP006999.2, NZ_CP007000.1, NZ_CP007001.1, NZ_CP007002.1) suggests a well-documented genetic diversity within this subspecies, which might influence its adaptability and pathogenic potential in various environmental contexts. Understanding these traits can help in developing strategies for monitoring and controlling infections associated with this organism in agricultural settings.
