Bordetella parapertussis 12822

Bordetella parapertussis 12822 is a gram-negative, aerobic bacterium classified within the bacilli shape group. This organism has been identified as pathogenic and is associated with host organisms. It possesses a single replicon and has a distinctive double membrane structure, which is characteristic of gram-negative bacteria. The optimal growth temperature for Bordetella parapertussis 12822 is 35°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is conducive to growth in warm-blooded hosts. Additionally, the presence of flagella suggests that this bacterium has the ability to move, which may play a role in its pathogenicity and interaction with host tissues. With accession number NC_002928.3, Bordetella parapertussis serves as an important model for understanding the biology and pathogenic mechanisms of Bordetella species. Furthermore, its ecological role as a pathogen highlights the complex relationships between host organisms and microbial communities, emphasizing the need for ongoing research into its interactions and impacts on human health.
