Bacteroides uniformis strain An67

Bacteroides uniformis strain An67 is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium primarily located in the gastrointestinal tract of its host, Homo sapiens. This strain exhibits a rod shape and possesses flagella, which may contribute to its motility within the gut luminal niche. The organism has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic structure that is typical for many members of the Bacteroides genus. Bacteroides uniformis is known to play a significant role in the gut microbiome, where it can influence the host’s health. However, it is also associated with intestinal inflammation, highlighting a complex relationship between the bacterium and the host's health status. The presence of Bacteroides uniformis strain An67 in the human gut underscores the importance of microbial diversity in maintaining intestinal health. While it may contribute to certain health issues, the overall role of this strain in the gut ecosystem is a vital area of study, particularly in understanding microbial interactions and their implications for gastrointestinal health. The strain's health effects warrant further investigation to elucidate the mechanisms by which it contributes to intestinal inflammation and the potential for therapeutic interventions. Accessions for this strain can be referenced under NFHS00000000.1.
