Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Infantis str. SARB27

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Infantis str. SARB27 is a Gram-negative bacterium characterized by its spirilla shape and ability to form chains or exist as singles. This strain thrives optimally at 37.0°C, which aligns with the typical body temperature of its host organisms. As a chemoorganotroph, S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar Infantis str. SARB27 utilizes organic compounds as its energy source, further indicating its adaptation to a host-associated habitat. Its microaerophilic nature suggests that it requires lower levels of oxygen than are present in the atmosphere for optimal growth, which may reflect its ecological niche within host environments where oxygen levels can be limited. Given its traits, this strain of Salmonella may play a role in the complex interactions within the microbiota of its host, potentially influencing host health and disease dynamics. The ability to thrive under microaerophilic conditions may also provide insights into its survival strategies within specific host niches, where transient oxygen levels can fluctuate. Understanding these traits can contribute to a broader comprehension of the ecological roles of Salmonella species in both health and disease contexts.
