Mycobacteroides immunogenum strain CD11-6

Mycobacteroides immunogenum strain CD11-6 is characterized as a rod-shaped bacterium that possesses flagella, indicating its motility. This strain has a single replicon, which is a feature of its genetic structure. One notable health effect associated with Mycobacteroides immunogenum strain CD11-6 is its link to lung issues arising from exposure to metal working fluids. This connection highlights the potential pathogenic implications of this bacterium in occupational settings, particularly for individuals working with metal working fluids. The strain is cataloged under the accession number LQYE00000000.1, which allows for further reference and study within genomic databases. The presence of flagella suggests that Mycobacteroides immunogenum strain CD11-6 may have a role in environmental adaptability, enabling it to navigate its surroundings effectively. Understanding the traits and health effects of this strain could provide insights into microbial interactions in industrial environments and the potential risks to human health associated with exposure to specific bacteria in such contexts.
