Campylobacter jejuni strain CB332 45

Campylobacter jejuni strain CB332 45 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and presence of flagella. This microaerophilic organism primarily exists in multiple habitats and is classified as a heterotroph, relying on organic compounds for energy. Its typical cell arrangement includes both singles and chains. The strain has an optimal temperature of 0°C and falls within the mesophilic temperature range, indicating its ability to thrive in moderate temperature conditions. CB332 45 has a unique biological profile, including a single replicon and a double-membrane structure, which is characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria. It exists as a free-living organism, with a diverse range of hosts, including Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, Bos taurus, Ovis aries, members of the Phasianidae family, Canis lupus familiaris, and Felis catus. Health effects associated with CB332 45 are significant, as it can lead to various conditions such as bacteremia, bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections, gastroenteritis, and acute bacterial diarrhea, among others. Notably, it is linked to Campylobacteriosis and can contribute to serious complications like Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and septic shock. The ecological insights gleaned from the host range of CB332 45 suggest it plays a notable role as a pathogen in both agricultural and human health contexts. Its presence in domestic animals and wildlife underscores its potential for zoonotic transmission, making it a critical organism for monitoring in food safety and public health initiatives.
