Escherichia coli strain Broiler parent88

Escherichia coli strain Broiler parent88 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits mobility and possesses flagella. This strain is classified as a facultative anaerobe, allowing it to thrive in both oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor environments. E. coli Broiler parent88 is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, which aligns with the body temperature of many warm-blooded hosts. This strain is associated with a wide range of hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Gallus gallus (chickens), Bos taurus (cattle), and various other mammals, birds, and even some plants. Its free-living biotic relationship suggests that it can survive independently of its hosts, although it often engages in pathogenic interactions, particularly in human health. E. coli strain Broiler parent88 is known to be associated with numerous health effects. It is implicated in urinary tract infections (UTIs), peritonitis, gastrointestinal infections, and a variety of severe conditions such as neonatal meningitis, septicemia, and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The strain can cause both mild and severe diarrhea, leading to complications such as renal failure and anemia. In livestock, it contributes to diseases like colibacillosis and post-weaning diarrhea. The ecological insight drawn from the wide range of hosts and serious health implications indicates that E. coli strain Broiler parent88 plays a significant role in the dynamics of microbial communities in various environments, particularly in relation to human and animal health. Its adaptability and pathogenic potential underscore the importance of monitoring and managing E. coli strains in agricultural and clinical settings to prevent outbreaks of foodborne and infectious diseases.
