Kingella oralis UB 38(Dewhirst), UB-38

Kingella oralis UB 38 (Dewhirst), designated as UB-38, is a Gram-negative bacterium identified within the supramucosal niche of permamem membranes. This organism is notable for its presence of flagella, indicating motility, which may play a role in its ecological interactions within its habitat. Genomic analysis reveals that Kingella oralis UB 38 has two replicons, suggesting a complex genetic architecture that could contribute to its adaptability and survival in the specific environment it occupies. The strain is cataloged under accession numbers CP059569.1 and CP059568.1, which facilitate further genetic and genomic studies. The habitat of Kingella oralis UB 38 within permamem membranes highlights its potential role in microbial communities associated with mucosal surfaces. These environments are often rich in biodiversity and can influence host-microbe interactions, inflammation, and immune responses. Understanding the ecological role and functional capabilities of K. oralis UB 38 could provide insights into its contributions to microbial dynamics in the supramucosal niche and its potential impacts on health and disease. The motility conferred by its flagella may also enable this bacterium to navigate its environment effectively, which could be crucial for its survival and interaction with other microbial species.
