Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PN586(35)w IPC669_76.1

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PN586(35)w IPC669_76.1 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized as a heterotrophic aerobe. This organism exhibits mobility due to the presence of flagella and typically exists as single cells. It is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 25°C, allowing it to thrive in various habitats. The strain is notable for its free-living biotic relationship and its extensive host range, which includes Homo sapiens, various aquatic species such as Oncorhynchus mykiss and Danio rerio, as well as numerous plants and animals across different taxa, including Insecta and Viridiplantae. This diversity in hosts underscores its ecological versatility and potential impact across multiple ecosystems. Pseudomonas aeruginosa PN586(35)w IPC669_76.1 is associated with a wide array of health effects, particularly in humans, where it can cause serious infections such as bacteremia, pneumonia, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and various opportunistic infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. The strain is known for its pathogenicity in both animal and plant hosts, highlighting its role as a significant opportunistic pathogen in clinical settings and its potential to affect agricultural systems. The presence of this strain in diverse environments emphasizes its adaptability and resilience, suggesting a crucial role in ecological dynamics and possibly in the development of biofilms in various habitats. Understanding its pathogenic mechanisms and interactions with hosts could lead to better management strategies for infections and ecological balance.
