Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum str. KCOM 1321

Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum str. KCOM 1321 is a Gram-negative bacterium known for its presence in periodontal disease. This species exhibits motility due to the presence of flagella, which aids in its movement within the oral cavity environment. The genome of Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum str. KCOM 1321 consists of a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic structure that may contribute to its adaptability and survival. The accession number for this strain is PEQX00000000.1, which provides a reference point for genomic studies and further research into its characteristics and potential implications in microbiology and human health. Understanding the genomic details and traits of this bacterium can facilitate insights into its role in oral microbiota and its interaction with human hosts. In a broader biological or ecological context, Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum's motility and Gram-negative nature allow it to thrive in diverse environments, particularly those associated with dental plaque and periodontal pockets. Its presence is often linked to periodontal disease, emphasizing the importance of studying such microorganisms to develop effective treatments and preventive measures in dental health. This highlights the ecological significance of Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum in maintaining oral health and the potential consequences of its dysregulation in the human microbiome.
