Acinetobacter baumannii 573719

Acinetobacter baumannii strain 573719 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its rod shape and free-living lifestyle. This organism is classified as a chemoheterotroph, meaning it derives its energy from organic compounds. It is strictly aerobic, requiring oxygen for its metabolic processes. The strain has a single replicon and is encased within a unique double-membrane structure. It is noted for its lack of mobility, as it does not possess flagella, which are typically associated with motility in bacteria. Acinetobacter baumannii thrives optimally at a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, within the mesophilic range suitable for growth. This bacterium exhibits a versatile habitat, being found in multiple environments, which reflects its adaptability and ecological resilience. The ability to live freely in diverse settings may contribute to its role in various biotic relationships, particularly in human-associated environments where it can act as an opportunistic pathogen. The data on Acinetobacter baumannii strain 573719 underscores its significance in microbiology, particularly in the context of emerging infectious diseases and antibiotic resistance. Its characteristics highlight the importance of understanding the ecological niches occupied by such organisms, which can inform both clinical treatment strategies and environmental management practices. The accession number for this strain is JFYA00000000.1, indicating its availability for further research and study.
