Eikenella corrodens CC92I

Eikenella corrodens CC92I is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and facultative anaerobic oxygen requirement. This organism possesses a single replicon, indicating a relatively simple genomic structure. The accession number for this strain is AZGQ00000000.1, which serves as a unique identifier in genomic databases. Eikenella corrodens is part of the normal flora of the human mouth and gastrointestinal tract, and it is known for its role in human infections, particularly those associated with human bites and fistfights. The facultative anaerobic nature of CC92I allows it to thrive in various environments, adapting to both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, which is essential for its survival in the diverse ecosystems of the human body. The presence of Eikenella corrodens in both health and disease contexts highlights its ecological significance. While it can be a benign member of the microbiota, it is also implicated in opportunistic infections when the host's barrier is compromised. Understanding the characteristics of strains like CC92I is crucial for assessing their role in human health and disease, as well as for developing appropriate therapeutic strategies in clinical settings.
