Bergeyella zoohelcum strain NCTC11661

Bergeyella zoohelcum strain NCTC11661 is a bacterial species primarily identified in the oral cavity of Felis catus (domestic cats). This organism is notable for its single replicon structure, which refers to the presence of one circular DNA molecule that contains the genetic material necessary for its functioning and reproduction. The specific accession number for this strain is UFTJ00000000.1, which provides a reference for researchers seeking to access its genomic data. The isolation of Bergeyella zoohelcum in the oral cavity suggests a potential role in the oral microbiome of cats, where it may interact with other microbial species and contribute to the overall health or disease state of the host. Understanding the ecological role of Bergeyella zoohelcum in the oral cavity can provide insights into the complex interactions within the cat's microbiome, including its potential contributions to oral health or disease processes. Further research into this strain can elucidate its function and significance in feline health, highlighting the importance of studying microbial communities in specific habitats such as the oral cavity.
