Mobiluncus mulieris strain NCTC11497

Mobiluncus mulieris strain NCTC11497 is a Gram-negative, anaerobic bacterium characterized by its curved rod shape. This species is predominantly found in the vaginal environment of Homo sapiens, specifically within the uterus and vaginal space. Notably, Mobiluncus mulieris exhibits mobility, facilitated by the presence of flagella. The organism has a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genetic structure. The accession number for this strain is UGPX00000000.1, which provides a reference for its genomic data. As a member of the vaginal microbiota, Mobiluncus mulieris plays a role in the complex ecosystem of the human microbiome. Its anaerobic nature suggests that it thrives in low-oxygen conditions, which are characteristic of the vaginal environment. Understanding the traits of Mobiluncus mulieris is essential, as it may contribute to the balance of microbial communities in the vagina, potentially influencing health outcomes related to reproductive and urogenital health. Further studies could elucidate its specific interactions within the microbiome and its potential implications for human health.
