Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Stanley strain sg_wt13

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Stanley strain sg_wt13 is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium that is classified as a chemoorganotroph, deriving its energy from organic compounds. This strain exhibits a spirilla shape and typically forms chains or singles in its cellular arrangement. Notably, it possesses flagella, indicating its potential for motility, although the strain itself is described as non-motile. This strain thrives optimally at 37°C, placing it within the mesophilic temperature range, which is conducive to human body temperatures. It has a free-living biotic relationship and is associated with host environments, suggesting a potential pathogenic role or interaction with host organisms. Salmonella enterica serovar Stanley strain sg_wt13 has a relatively simple genomic structure, characterized by a single replicon and two membranes, which is typical for Gram-negative bacteria. Its accession number is QATA00000000.1, indicating the availability of its genetic information in public databases. The ecological implications of this strain highlight its adaptability to host-associated environments while maintaining a free-living existence. This dual capability may facilitate its survival and spread in various habitats, including those influenced by human activity. Understanding the specific traits of Salmonella enterica serovar Stanley strain sg_wt13 can aid in further research into its ecological roles and potential impacts on public health.
