Gallibacterium anatis strain 23K10

Gallibacterium anatis strain 23K10 is a Gram-negative bacterium primarily found in the cecal digesta of various hosts, including Gallus gallus (domestic chickens), Bos (cattle), Aves (birds), and Mammalia (mammals). This organism is characterized by having a single replicon. G. anatis strain 23K10 is noteworthy for its association with a range of health effects, particularly in chickens and other poultry. It has been implicated in severe conditions such as bacteremia, endocarditis, peritonitis, pericarditis, septicemia, and enteritis. In addition, the strain can lead to multiorgan inflammation, perihepatitis, and liver necrosis. It is also linked to reproductive health issues, including salpingitis, reproductive tract inflammation, oophoritis, follicle degeneration, and salpingoperitonitis. Furthermore, G. anatis can contribute to respiratory tract diseases. The presence of G. anatis strain 23K10 in the cecal digesta suggests its role in the gastrointestinal microbiota of its hosts. The variety of health effects associated with this bacterium highlights its potential impact on poultry health and production. Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms and ecological interactions of G. anatis can provide insights into managing gallibacteriosis and related diseases, which are significant concerns in poultry farming. The strain's accession number is JPJO00000000.1, indicating its availability for further research and characterization.
