Helicobacter pylori CPY6271

Helicobacter pylori CPY6271 is a microaerophilic, Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape. It typically inhabits host-associated environments, where it exists in singles rather than clusters. This bacterium possesses a single set of replicons and is surrounded by two membranes, a feature consistent with its classification within the Gram-negative group. H. pylori CPY6271 is notable for its mobility, enabled by the presence of flagella. It thrives optimally at a temperature of 37°C, falling within the mesophilic range, which is conducive to its survival and growth in host organisms. Biologically, H. pylori has been recognized for its complex relationship with human hosts, often associated with gastric conditions. Its free-living nature suggests that while it may inhabit the gastrointestinal tract, it can also exist independently in the environment. Understanding the traits of H. pylori CPY6271 can provide insights into its ecological roles and potential impacts on human health, particularly in relation to its pathogenicity and the factors influencing its survival in both host and free-living states. The accession number for this strain is AKNP00000000.1, which can be used for further genomic and microbiological studies.
