Campylobacter concisus strain Lasto205.94

Campylobacter concisus strain Lasto205.94 is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and the presence of flagella, which facilitate its motility. This strain exhibits a unique cell arrangement, forming chains and singles. It is a mesophilic organism, thriving within moderate temperature ranges. Notably, C. concisus Lasto205.94 has a single replicon and is comprised of two membranes, typical of Gram-negative bacteria. This strain is associated with human hosts (Homo sapiens) and is recognized for its role in causing enteritis, a type of gastrointestinal inflammation. C. concisus is classified as free-living, indicating its ability to exist independently in host-associated environments. An important ecological insight regarding Campylobacter concisus Lasto205.94 is its potential impact on human health. As it can lead to enteritis, understanding its habitat and characteristics is crucial for managing and preventing infections. Given its association with human hosts and the health effects it can cause, further research into its ecological role and behavior within the human microbiome may provide valuable information for public health strategies. The accession number for this strain is NDYR00000000.1, which may be utilized for further genomic studies or comparative analysis with other Campylobacter species.
