Acinetobacter baumannii 99063

Acinetobacter baumannii 99063 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is classified as a chemoheterotrophic aerobe. This organism typically exists as single cells and is characterized by the presence of flagella, which, although it does not exhibit mobility, signifies a potential for motility under certain conditions. Acinetobacter baumannii 99063 thrives optimally at a temperature of 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range. This bacterium is free-living, indicating that it does not rely on a host organism for survival and can inhabit multiple environments. The presence of two membranes is typical of Gram-negative bacteria, providing structural integrity and contributing to its interactions with the environment. Notably, Acinetobacter baumannii is often studied due to its significance in clinical settings, particularly its role in nosocomial infections. With a single replicon, Acinetobacter baumannii 99063's genetic information is likely organized efficiently, allowing for adaptability in various habitats. The ecological insights gleaned from its capabilities emphasize its potential persistence in diverse environments, which can be attributed to its heterotrophic metabolism and ability to utilize a range of organic compounds as energy sources. Understanding the traits of Acinetobacter baumannii 99063 can inform both research and clinical approaches to managing its presence in healthcare environments. Accessions for this strain are documented under JEXJ00000000.1.
