Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Agona strain

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Agona is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and microaerophilic oxygen requirement. This strain typically exists in host-associated environments, indicating its affiliation with various hosts. It is a chemoorganotroph, deriving energy from organic compounds. The organism is notable for its cell arrangement, which can be observed as chains or singles. This strain has a singular replicon and is distinguished by the presence of flagella, enabling motility, although its overall mobility is described as absent. S. enterica serovar Agona thrives optimally at a temperature of 37°C, which places it within the mesophilic temperature range. In terms of ecological context, S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Agona demonstrates a free-living biotic relationship, suggesting its potential to survive outside of host organisms under suitable environmental conditions. The dual membrane structure typical of Gram-negative bacteria further enhances its adaptability and survival mechanisms in diverse habitats. Understanding the traits of Salmonella enterica serovar Agona provides valuable insight into its ecological role and pathogenic potential, especially considering its association with hosts and its ability to thrive in microaerophilic conditions. The strain's accessions, such as NZ_CP025451.1, contribute to its identification within microbiological databases, aiding in research and public health monitoring.
