Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Give strain 207

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Give strain 207 is a gram-negative bacterium classified as a chemoorganotroph, indicating it derives energy from organic compounds. The strain exhibits a microaerophilic oxygen requirement, thriving in environments with lower oxygen levels than atmospheric concentration. Morphologically, it is characterized by a spirilla shape and typically forms chains or occurs as singles. This bacterium is non-motile but possesses flagella, which may play a role in its ecological interactions despite the lack of mobility. It has a mesophilic temperature range, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, which is consistent with the typical conditions found in warm-blooded hosts. Salmonella enterica strain 207 is noted for having a single replicon and is surrounded by two membranes, a common structural characteristic of gram-negative bacteria. Ecologically, this strain is free-living but is also associated with host environments, suggesting its potential role in both pathogenic and commensal relationships within various ecosystems. Understanding the traits of Salmonella enterica serovar Give strain 207 can provide insights into its ecological niches and pathogenic potential, especially in relation to its host-associated habitat and energy acquisition strategies. The strain's adaptability to microaerophilic conditions at physiological temperatures may also inform studies on its survival and transmission pathways in various environments.
