Acinetobacter johnsonii strain IC001

Acinetobacter johnsonii strain IC001 is a Gram-negative bacterium primarily associated with the ATCC skin microbiome and guano habitats. This strain is classified as an aerobe, indicating its requirement for oxygen to thrive. Notably, it possesses four replicons in its genetic structure, which may contribute to its adaptability and genetic diversity. This bacterium is known to interact with various hosts, including Homo sapiens, Metazoa, and Sus scrofa. Its health implications are significant, as it is implicated in human infections, particularly nosocomial infections, conjunctivitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis. Additionally, A. johnsonii strain IC001 has been linked to infections in fish, highlighting its potential impact beyond human health. The strain is cataloged under multiple accessions, including NZ_CP022300.1, NZ_CP022301.1, NZ_CP022302.1, and NZ_CP022299.1, facilitating its identification and study within microbial databases. The presence of A. johnsonii in diverse environments, such as the skin microbiome and guano, suggests its ecological versatility. Its role in various infections indicates that it may serve as an opportunistic pathogen, particularly in hospital settings where vulnerable populations are present. Understanding the ecological niches and pathogenic potential of A. johnsonii can inform infection control practices and contribute to the broader knowledge of microbial dynamics in both human and environmental contexts.
