Campylobacter hyointestinalis subsp. lawsonii CCUG 27631

Campylobacter hyointestinalis subsp. lawsonii CCUG 27631 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by a single replicon. This subspecies is part of the Campylobacter genus, which is known for its helical shape and motility due to polar flagella. The specific strain CCUG 27631 is cataloged under the accession number NZ_CP015576.1, indicating its availability in genomic databases for further research and comparative studies. As a member of the Campylobacter genus, C. hyointestinalis subsp. lawsonii is of interest in microbiology due to its potential role in gastrointestinal infections, particularly in animals and, occasionally, in humans. Understanding the genetic and phenotypic traits of this strain can contribute to the knowledge of Campylobacter species' pathogenic mechanisms and their environmental adaptability. The presence of a single replicon suggests a streamlined genetic organization, which may be beneficial for rapid adaptation in various ecological niches. This trait, along with its Gram-negative nature, may influence its interactions within the gut microbiota of hosts, as well as its responses to environmental stresses. Overall, the study of C. hyointestinalis subsp. lawsonii CCUG 27631 can provide insights into the ecological dynamics of Campylobacter species, their role in health and disease, and potential implications for food safety and public health.
