Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica strain CFSAN058603

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica strain CFSAN058603 is a Gram-negative bacterium classified as a chemoorganotroph, indicating that it derives its energy from organic compounds. This strain is microaerophilic, meaning it thrives in environments with low oxygen levels, and it exhibits a spirilla shape. The cells typically exist in chains or as singles and lack mobility, despite possessing flagella. This strain has an optimal growth temperature of 37°C and falls within the mesophilic temperature range. It has a single replicon and is characterized by having two membranes. The biotic relationship of CFSAN058603 is free-living, and it is associated with various hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Gallus gallus (chickens), Sus scrofa (pigs), Metazoa, Mammalia, Amphibia, and Lates niloticus (Nile perch). CFSAN058603 is associated with several health impacts, notably salmonellosis, gastroenteritis, mastitis, and breast abscesses. These health effects highlight the strain's potential pathogenicity, particularly in humans and livestock, emphasizing its importance in public health and veterinary medicine. The ecological insight from this strain's diverse host range indicates its adaptability and potential for transmission among various species, suggesting a significant role in the ecology of Salmonella and its interactions with both animals and humans. Understanding the characteristics of CFSAN058603 can inform strategies for monitoring and controlling salmonellosis outbreaks.
