Pasteurella multocida strain EB104

Pasteurella multocida strain EB104 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that optimally grows at 37.0°C and exhibits facultative anaerobic respiration. This strain is typically associated with host organisms, indicating its potential role in host-associated environments, which may include the respiratory tracts of various animals. The ability of P. multocida to thrive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions suggests a versatile metabolic capacity, enabling it to adapt to varying oxygen levels encountered in host tissues. The ecological niche of Pasteurella multocida is closely tied to its association with animals, often serving as a commensal organism or a potential pathogen under certain conditions. Its presence in host-associated habitats suggests a role in the microbial communities of these environments, which can influence the health and disease status of the host. The adaptability of strain EB104 to host-associated habitats underscores its potential significance in microbial interactions within the host ecosystem. Overall, the combination of its Gram-negative structure, rod shape, and facultative anaerobic nature positions Pasteurella multocida strain EB104 as a microbe of interest in understanding host-microbe interactions, particularly in terms of how it might influence or be influenced by the dynamic conditions present within its host environments.
