| Description | The Erysipelotrichaceae bacterium 6_1_45 is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped microorganism that thrives in mesophilic temperatures, categorized as a Chemoheterotroph, and can be found in all body sites across various species, including the skin, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts, and is an Obligate Anaerobe. As a Gram-positive bacterium, it has a thick peptidoglycan layer in its cell wall, which provides rigidity and maintains the cell's shape. The rod-shaped morphology allows for efficient movement and absorption of nutrients. Its mesophilic temperature preference indicates that it grows best in moderate temperatures, typically between 20-45°C. As a Chemoheterotroph, the bacterium relies on organic compounds for energy and carbon, breaking down complex molecules to sustain its metabolic processes. The bacterium's presence in all body sites suggests that it is a commensal or opportunistic pathogen, able to coexist with its host without causing harm under normal circumstances. However, its anaerobic nature implies that it can thrive in low-oxygen environments, such as the gut or deep tissue infections. The Erysipelotrichaceae bacterium 6_1_45 has been implicated in various diseases, including bacteremia and abscesses. Recent studies have shown that this microbe plays a significant role in the development of certain metabolic disorders, as it influences the host's metabolic pathways and contributes to the regulation of the gut microbiome, highlighting the complex interplay between the microbiota and the host's overall health. |
