Campylobacter helveticus strain ACP175a

Campylobacter helveticus strain ACP175a is a bacterium notable for its single replicon structure, which is a characteristic feature that can influence its genetics and replication processes. This strain has been isolated from various hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Canis lupus familiaris (domestic dogs), and Felis catus (domestic cats). The presence of this strain in multiple host species suggests its adaptability and potential for cross-species transmission. The genomic data for Campylobacter helveticus strain ACP175a is cataloged under the accession number VDBQ00000000.1, providing a reference point for researchers interested in its genetic makeup and potential pathogenicity. Understanding the genomic characteristics of this strain can be essential for studying its behavior, virulence factors, and resistance mechanisms. The association of Campylobacter helveticus with both human and domestic animal hosts could have significant implications for public health and veterinary medicine. The ability of this bacterium to inhabit multiple species raises the possibility of zoonotic transmission, where infections can be transferred from animals to humans. This aspect emphasizes the importance of monitoring Campylobacter species in both veterinary and human health contexts, as well as the need for further research into its ecological roles and interactions within these host environments.
