Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum strain KCOM 1259

Fusobacterium pseudoperiodonticum strain KCOM 1259 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by the presence of flagella, which suggests motility. This strain possesses a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic organization that may contribute to its adaptability in various environments. The genomic data for this strain is recorded under the accession PEQY00000000.1. As a member of the Fusobacterium genus, F. pseudoperiodonticum is likely associated with human oral health, particularly concerning periodontal disease. The motility conferred by its flagella may enhance its ability to colonize and thrive in the complex oral microbiome, where it can interact with other microbial species and host tissues. Understanding the traits of F. pseudoperiodonticum strain KCOM 1259 can provide insights into its ecological role in the oral environment. Its Gram-negative nature and motility could allow it to navigate through the biofilms commonly found in periodontal pockets, potentially influencing the microbial community dynamics and disease progression. Further studies on this strain could elucidate its specific interactions within the oral microbiota and its implications for oral health and disease.
