Bacteroides uniformis strain AM31-23

Bacteroides uniformis strain AM31-23 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that thrives in the anaerobic environment of the gastrointestinal tract, specifically within the gut luminal niche of Homo sapiens. This strain possesses a single replicon and is characterized by the presence of flagella, enabling motility within the intestinal tract. The health implications associated with Bacteroides uniformis strain AM31-23 include its involvement in intestinal inflammation. This suggests a potential role in the complex microbiota dynamics that can influence gut health and disease states in humans. Understanding the specific interactions and mechanisms by which this strain contributes to inflammation may provide insights into the broader implications for gastrointestinal health and the management of related disorders. The accession number for this strain is QSJC00000000.1, which can be used for further reference in genomic databases. Overall, Bacteroides uniformis strain AM31-23 exemplifies the diverse roles that gut microbiota can play in human health, particularly concerning inflammatory conditions within the gastrointestinal tract.
