Campylobacter mucosalis strain DSM 21682

Campylobacter mucosalis strain DSM 21682 is a microaerophilic bacterium, indicating that it requires low levels of oxygen for optimal growth. This trait is characteristic of the Campylobacter genus, which is typically adapted to environments such as the gastrointestinal tracts of various hosts. Notably, this strain has been identified in association with Canis lupus familiaris, commonly known as domestic dogs, suggesting a potential ecological niche within canine biology. The strain is defined by a single replicon, which can provide insights into its genomic structure and stability. The accession number for this strain is JHQQ00000000.1, allowing for further exploration of its genetic makeup and related studies in microbial genetics. The association of Campylobacter mucosalis with dogs may have implications for understanding the ecology and transmission dynamics of Campylobacter species in domestic settings. Given the prevalent role of domestic animals in the transmission of various pathogens, the presence of this strain in canine hosts may inform studies on zoonotic potential and the impact of Campylobacter on animal health. Further research into this strain could reveal important details about its pathogenicity, interaction with the canine microbiome, and the broader implications for veterinary and public health.
