Actinomyces oris strain CCUG 33920

Actinomyces oris strain CCUG 33920 is a Gram-positive bacterium primarily associated with the habitat of the submucosal sulcus and vaginal mucosa in humans (Homo sapiens). This strain is classified as a facultative anaerobe, indicating its ability to grow in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, which may contribute to its adaptability in varying environments within the human body. The strain has a single replicon, suggesting a streamlined genetic organization that may facilitate efficient replication and maintenance of genetic stability. The accession number for this strain is MSKJ00000000.1, which serves as a reference point for genomic data. The presence of Actinomyces oris in the vaginal mucosa may indicate its relevance in the microbial community of this environment, potentially playing a role in maintaining microbial balance or influencing local immune responses. Understanding the ecological role of A. oris in human habitats can shed light on its contributions to health or disease states, particularly in the context of microbial interactions in mucosal surfaces.
