Campylobacter coli strain S871

Campylobacter coli strain S871 is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium known to be associated with various health effects in humans and animals. It has been identified as a pathogen that can cause bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections, and gastrointestinal diseases such as intestinal campylobacteriosis and acute bacterial enteritis. The strain is capable of leading to diarrheal diseases and enteric diseases, highlighting its significance in public health. This strain has a single replicon, which is characteristic of many bacteria and may influence its genetic stability and adaptability within various environments. Campylobacter coli is typically found in several hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Gallus gallus (domestic chickens), and Bos (cattle), indicating its zoonotic potential and the role of these animals in the transmission of infections to humans. The presence of Campylobacter coli strain S871 in both human and animal populations underscores the importance of monitoring and controlling its spread, particularly in food safety and public health contexts. Understanding the ecological dynamics of this strain can provide insights into its transmission routes and the risks associated with consumption of contaminated food products, especially poultry and livestock, where it is commonly found. This knowledge is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies against infections caused by this pathogen.
