Kluyvera intermedia strain FOSA7093 C00007093_n1_c124

Kluyvera intermedia strain FOSA7093 C00007093_n1_c124 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by the presence of flagella. This strain has been isolated from habitats such as sewage and soil, indicating its adaptability to diverse environments. It possesses a single replicon, which is typical for many bacterial species. This bacterium is notably associated with various human infections, including bacteremia, urinary tract infections, peritonitis, acute cholecystitis, gastroenteritis, pyelonephritis, mediastinitis, soft tissue infections, wound infections, acute pancreatitis, and infected urethrorectal fistulas. The breadth of these health effects underscores its potential pathogenicity in humans, particularly in immunocompromised individuals or those with underlying health conditions. Given its isolation from sewage and soil, Kluyvera intermedia may play a role in the environmental microbiome and could be an indicator of fecal contamination in these habitats. Understanding its pathogenic potential and ecological role is essential for public health monitoring and developing strategies to mitigate its impact on human health. The strain's accession number, MWPR00000000.1, provides a reference for further genomic studies, which could elucidate its mechanisms of virulence and resistance. Overall, Kluyvera intermedia strain FOSA7093 illustrates the complex interactions between environmental bacteria and human health.
