Dermabacter vaginalis str. AD1_86

Dermabacter vaginalis strain AD1_86 is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that thrives in the human vaginal environment. This strain exhibits a facultative aerobe/anaerobe metabolic capability, allowing it to adapt to varying oxygen levels within its habitat. Optimal growth occurs at a temperature of 37.0°C, which is consistent with the average human body temperature, suggesting a close association with human physiology. The presence of Dermabacter vaginalis in the vaginal microbiome may play a role in maintaining homeostasis and influencing the overall microbial community structure. The facultative nature of its oxygen requirement indicates that this bacterium can survive in both oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor conditions, potentially enabling it to occupy diverse niches within the vaginal ecosystem. Understanding the characteristics of Dermabacter vaginalis str. AD1_86 may provide insights into its functional role in the vaginal microbiome and its interactions with other microbial species, underscoring the importance of microbial diversity in female reproductive health.
