Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida P1062

Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida P1062 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and the presence of flagella. As a facultative anaerobe, it can thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range. This subspecies is associated with host organisms, indicating its role in various biotic relationships, which may include pathogenic interactions with animals or humans. Despite being host-associated, P. multocida P1062 exhibits a free-living capability, suggesting it can also exist independently in the environment. The bacterium is notable for its two replicons and two membranes, which are common traits in Gram-negative bacteria, contributing to its structural complexity and potential resilience in various habitats. The presence of flagella may also suggest some degree of motility, although it is classified as non-motile. Understanding the traits of P. multocida P1062 provides insight into its ecological role and adaptations in host-associated environments. Its ability to survive in diverse conditions and its association with hosts highlight its ecological versatility, which is crucial for its survival and potential pathogenicity. The accessions ASZP00000000.2 and NZ_CM002276.1 provide further genomic resources for studying this bacterium's genetic makeup and potential implications in microbiology and infectious disease research.
