Campylobacter coli strain 143854

Campylobacter coli strain 143854 is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium. It possesses a single replicon and has been associated with various hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Gallus gallus (chickens), and Bos (cattle). This strain is known to cause several health effects, including bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections, and a range of gastrointestinal illnesses such as intestinal campylobacteriosis, enteritis, and acute bacterial enteritis. These health impacts often manifest as diarrheal diseases and other forms of enteric disease. The strain's ability to infect multiple hosts highlights its ecological versatility and potential role in zoonotic disease transmission, particularly between livestock and humans. The presence of Campylobacter coli in poultry and cattle suggests that these animals may serve as reservoirs for human infections, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and controlling Campylobacter spp. in agricultural settings to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms and transmission dynamics of this strain can inform public health strategies aimed at preventing Campylobacter-related diseases.
