Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida OH4807

Pasteurella multocida subsp. multocida OH4807 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that thrives optimally at 37.0°C, indicating its adaptation to the physiological temperature of warm-blooded hosts. This strain is classified as a facultative anaerobe, enabling it to grow in both oxygen-rich and low-oxygen environments, which is characteristic of many bacteria associated with host organisms. P. multocida subsp. multocida is typically found in habitats closely linked to its hosts, suggesting a potential relationship with animal microbiomes or infectious processes. Its ability to flourish in the presence or absence of oxygen may facilitate its survival in various niches within the host environment, including tissues where oxygen levels may fluctuate. The association of this bacterium with specific hosts underscores its potential role in the microbial communities of those organisms, contributing to the complex interactions within the host's microbiota. Such interactions may influence nutrient cycling, immune responses, and overall host health, providing insights into the ecological dynamics at play in host-associated environments. Understanding the characteristics and capabilities of P. multocida subsp. multocida OH4807 could offer valuable information for further studies on bacterial behavior in host systems and their implications for microbial ecology.
