Campylobacter avium LMG 24591

Campylobacter avium LMG 24591 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its curved or spiral shape. It is classified as a microaerophile, indicating that it requires lower levels of oxygen for growth compared to atmospheric concentrations. This oxygen requirement is a significant trait, as it influences the ecological niches where this organism can thrive. The strain has a single replicon, which reflects its genomic organization. The genetic information for Campylobacter avium LMG 24591 is accessible under the accession NZ_CP022347.1, providing a resource for researchers interested in studying its genetic makeup and potential applications in microbiology. In terms of ecological insights, the microaerophilic nature of Campylobacter avium suggests that it may inhabit environments where oxygen levels are limited, such as the gastrointestinal tracts of birds, where it can play a role in the microbiota. Understanding the ecological role of this bacterium can offer insights into its interactions within avian hosts and its potential impact on avian health and disease dynamics.
