Escherichia coli strain 593596 SAMN10057753-rid9463433.guided.151

Escherichia coli strain 593596 (SAMN10057753-rid9463433.guided.151) is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits a facultative anaerobic lifestyle, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. This strain is characterized by its mobility, facilitated by the presence of flagella, and it typically exists in pairs or as singles. E. coli 593596 is classified as mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C. This strain is host-associated, having a diverse range of hosts, including Homo sapiens, various domestic animals such as Gallus gallus (chickens), Bos taurus (cattle), and Sus scrofa (pigs), as well as several other vertebrate species and plants. It participates in a free-living biotic relationship, indicating its adaptability in various environments. E. coli strain 593596 is known for its pathogenicity in humans, being linked to a multitude of health issues, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), gastrointestinal infections, and neonatal meningitis. The strain is also associated with severe conditions such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and peritonitis, highlighting its potential impact on both human health and veterinary contexts. The ecological insight from the data indicates that E. coli strain 593596's ability to inhabit a wide range of hosts and its pathogenic potential suggest a significant role in both human and animal health. Its presence in diverse environments underscores the importance of monitoring and managing E. coli in relation to public health and disease prevention strategies.
