Asaia bogorensis is a species of acetic acid bacterium. It is Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and peritrichously flagellated. It was first isolated from specimens of Bauhinia purpurea and Plumbago auriculata. Its type strain is 71T (= NRIC 0311T = JCM 10569T).[1] It is potentially pathogenic.[2]
A. bogorensis has been implicated in modulating the susceptibility of mosquitoes to infection by Plasmodium parasites. A 2021 study reported that colonization of the mosquito midgut by A. bogorensis can promote parasite development by altering the physicochemical environment of the gut.[3]
