Campylobacter upsaliensis JV21

Campylobacter upsaliensis JV21 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its single replicon structure, which is significant for its genetic stability and replication processes. The organism is cataloged under the accession number AEPU00000000.1, providing a reference point for genomic studies and comparative analyses. C. upsaliensis is known for its role in gastrointestinal infections, often linked to foodborne illnesses. It is part of a group of Campylobacter species that are commonly found in the intestinal tracts of birds and other animals. These bacteria typically thrive in microaerobic environments, which are low in oxygen, a characteristic that influences their ecological niche and interactions within various ecosystems. Understanding the genomic features and traits of C. upsaliensis can aid in developing effective strategies for monitoring and controlling its presence in food products and the environment. Given its association with human disease, insights into its genetic makeup and behavior may contribute to public health efforts aimed at reducing the incidence of Campylobacter-related infections. As research continues, the genomic data associated with C. upsaliensis could provide further understanding of its pathogenic mechanisms and ecological roles in different habitats.
