Bordetella bronchiseptica OSU553

Bordetella bronchiseptica OSU553 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium categorized as an aerobe, which indicates it requires oxygen for growth. This species exhibits mobility due to the presence of flagella, allowing it to navigate its environment effectively. The optimal growth temperature for B. bronchiseptica OSU553 is 35°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, suitable for growth at moderate temperatures. This bacterium is host-associated, indicating a close relationship with specific hosts, potentially affecting the dynamics of host-pathogen interactions. B. bronchiseptica OSU553 possesses a single replicon and is characterized by having two membranes, a feature typical of Gram-negative bacteria, which contributes to its structural integrity and may influence its interactions with the host immune system. The accession number for this strain is JGXZ00000000.1, which can be used for reference in genomic databases. Understanding the specific traits of B. bronchiseptica OSU553, including its habitat, morphology, and growth conditions, is crucial for studying its role in infectious diseases, particularly in veterinary contexts, as it is known to affect respiratory health in animals. Insights into its ecological niche and pathogenic mechanisms can inform strategies for managing infections caused by this organism in susceptible host populations.
