Campylobacter helveticus strain ACP102b

Campylobacter helveticus strain ACP102b is characterized by having a single replicon. This bacterium is notable for its association with various hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Canis lupus familiaris (domestic dogs), and Felis catus (domestic cats). The strain is represented in genomic databases under the accession number VDBW00000000.1, which provides a reference for further studies and analysis. Campylobacter species are known to inhabit the gastrointestinal tracts of their hosts, and their presence can have implications for both animal and human health. The ability of C. helveticus strain ACP102b to infect multiple hosts suggests a potential for zoonotic transmission, where pathogens can be transferred between animals and humans. This highlights the importance of understanding its ecology and pathogenicity, especially in environments where humans and domestic animals interact closely. Given its host range, monitoring and research on C. helveticus are essential for assessing risks associated with food safety and public health.
