Campylobacter hyointestinalis subsp. lawsonii CCUG 27631

Campylobacter hyointestinalis subsp. lawsonii CCUG 27631 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spiral shape and motility, which is facilitated by a single polar flagellum. This subspecies is part of the Campylobacter genus, which is known for its microaerophilic growth requirements, typically thriving in environments with reduced oxygen levels. The strain CCUG 27631 is recognized for its ability to grow optimally at temperatures around 42°C, which is indicative of its adaptation to warm-blooded hosts. As a member of the Campylobacter genus, C. hyointestinalis subsp. lawsonii is often associated with the gastrointestinal tract of animals, particularly in pigs, where it may play a role in the microbiota composition. Its presence in the intestines suggests a potential contribution to the digestive processes of its hosts. However, the specific ecological roles or implications of C. hyointestinalis subsp. lawsonii CCUG 27631 within its habitat remain to be fully elucidated. In conclusion, the unique combination of its Gram-negative nature, motility, microaerophilic growth, and temperature preference highlights the adaptability of C. hyointestinalis subsp. lawsonii CCUG 27631 to specific environmental niches, underscoring the intricate relationships that exist within host-associated microbiomes. Further research may illuminate its interactions with other microbial species and its overall impact on host health.
