Acinetobacter baumannii strain 4300STDY7045813

Acinetobacter baumannii strain 4300STDY7045813 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium characterized by its aerobic metabolism and chemoheterotrophic energy source. It typically exists as single cells and does not exhibit mobility, despite having flagella. This strain thrives optimally at 37°C and falls within the mesophilic temperature range, indicating its preference for moderate temperatures. As a free-living organism, Acinetobacter baumannii strain 4300STDY7045813 is noted for its significant pathogenic potential in humans and other hosts, including Gallus gallus (domestic chickens) and Bos taurus (cattle). It is associated with a range of severe health effects, such as bacteremia, necrotizing fasciitis, bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections, hospital-acquired pneumonia, and other nosocomial infections. Its ability to cause community-acquired infections further underscores its relevance in both healthcare and broader ecological contexts. The strain harbors one replicon and possesses two membranes, typical of Gram-negative bacteria. Its diverse habitat suggests a versatile ecological niche, potentially facilitating its survival in various environments. Given its pathogenicity and the range of infections it can cause, Acinetobacter baumannii strain 4300STDY7045813 exemplifies the challenges posed by opportunistic pathogens in healthcare settings and the importance of understanding microbial interactions in both clinical and environmental microbiology.
