Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum str. KCOM 2305

Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum strain KCOM 2305 is a Gram-negative bacterium known for its role in the oral microbiome and its association with periodontal disease. This organism possesses a single flagellum, which is significant for its motility in various environments, particularly within the complex ecosystem of the oral cavity. The strain is characterized by having one replicon, indicating a relatively simple genomic structure compared to other more complex bacterial genomes. The genomic data for Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum KCOM 2305 is accessible through the accession number NZ_CP024703.1, which allows for further exploration of its genetic characteristics and potential pathogenic mechanisms. Fusobacterium species, including F. pseudoperiodonticum, are often implicated in the progression of periodontal diseases due to their ability to thrive in anaerobic conditions and interact with other microorganisms present in biofilms on tooth surfaces. Their motility, aided by flagella, facilitates their colonization and persistence in these environments, highlighting their adaptability and ecological significance. Understanding the traits of Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum KCOM 2305 contributes to the broader knowledge of microbial interactions in the oral cavity and underscores the importance of maintaining a balanced microbiome to prevent periodontal disease. The data indicate that this species plays a crucial role in the dynamics of oral health and disease.
