Glaesserella parasuis str. Nagasaki

Glaesserella parasuis str. Nagasaki is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that demonstrates both aerobic and facultatively anaerobic metabolic capabilities. This species is characterized by its lack of mobility, despite the presence of flagella. G. parasuis str. Nagasaki is mesophilic, thriving within a moderate temperature range that is typical for many bacteria associated with warm-blooded hosts. The bacterium is classified as host-associated, indicating its presence in specific biological environments linked to its host organisms. G. parasuis str. Nagasaki is free-living, suggesting it can exist independently of a host under certain conditions. It possesses a unique genetic structure with one replicon and is enveloped by two membranes, a feature common among Gram-negative bacteria. The accession number for G. parasuis str. Nagasaki is ANKT00000000.1, which provides a reference for genetic and genomic studies. Understanding the traits of this bacterium is crucial for exploring its role in microbiological ecosystems, particularly its interactions with host species. Given its association with certain hosts, G. parasuis str. Nagasaki may play a significant role in the health and disease dynamics of those organisms, highlighting the importance of studying such bacteria in veterinary microbiology and pathogen research.
