Finegoldia magna strain CCUG 54800 69c

Finegoldia magna strain CCUG 54800 69c is a Gram-positive, anaerobic cocci bacterium that exhibits a mesophilic temperature range, indicating its optimal growth at moderate temperatures. This strain is non-motile and possesses a single membrane, as well as one replicon. F. magna is known to be free-living and has a notable biotic relationship with Homo sapiens, where it can be found as part of the normal flora in humans. However, F. magna is also associated with various health complications. It is implicated in serious infections such as endocarditis, prosthetic joint infections, necrotizing pneumonia, necrotising fasciitis, and emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN). These infections underscore the potential pathogenicity of this organism, particularly in individuals with compromised health or pre-existing conditions. Given its status as a free-living organism in human habitats, F. magna demonstrates the duality of being a benign member of the microbiota while also possessing the ability to cause significant disease. This highlights the importance of understanding the ecological roles and health implications of microbial species in human environments. Further investigation into its mechanisms of pathogenicity could provide insight into effective treatment strategies for the infections it causes. The accession number for this strain is NDYC00000000.1, which can be referenced for more detailed genomic information.
