Pasteurella multocida strain FDAARGOS_261

Pasteurella multocida strain FDAARGOS_261 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits facultative anaerobic respiration, allowing it to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. This strain has an optimal growth temperature of 37.0°C, which aligns with the body temperature of many warm-blooded hosts, suggesting its adaptation to a host-associated habitat. P. multocida is known for its association with various animal species and can be found in a range of ecological niches within host organisms. The facultative anaerobic nature of this bacterium facilitates its survival in diverse environments, including both the oxygen-rich conditions of the respiratory tract and the oxygen-poor conditions found in deeper tissue sites or within biofilms. Understanding the specific habitat preferences of strain FDAARGOS_261 can provide insights into its ecological role and potential interactions with host immune systems. These interactions may play a significant part in the dynamics of microbial communities within host-associated environments, where P. multocida may contribute to both normal flora and, under certain circumstances, dysbiosis. Further studies on this strain could elucidate its ecological relationships and adaptive mechanisms in host-associated settings.
