Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida OH4807

Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida OH4807 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is classified as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. It possesses a single replicon and has a distinctive double membrane structure, characteristic of Gram-negative organisms. This strain is primarily associated with host organisms, indicating its habitat is host-associated, while also being capable of free-living existence. The optimal growth temperature for Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida OH4807 is 37°C, which aligns with its mesophilic nature, as it can grow within a moderate temperature range. Notably, this bacterium does not exhibit mobility, despite the presence of flagella, suggesting that these structures may not be used for motility in this context. Understanding the traits of Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida OH4807 contributes to our knowledge of its ecological role and potential pathogenicity. As a host-associated organism, it may have implications in veterinary and medical microbiology, particularly concerning infections in animals and potential zoonotic transmission to humans. Its ability to survive in diverse environments may facilitate its spread and persistence in both natural and clinical settings, highlighting the importance of monitoring this bacterium in relevant ecosystems. The accession number for this strain is NZ_CP004391.1, which provides a reference for further study and genetic analysis.
