Details
| Description | Serratia odorifera biogroup 2 is a species of gram-negative, nonsporeforming, peritrichous rods. It is distinguished from other biogroups by it doesn't response to fermentation of sucrose and raffinose, and by the absence of ornithine decarboxylase. |
| Synonyms | N.A. |
| Habitat/Source | It has been found in human clinical specimens and in food. Serratia odorifera biogroup 1 was isolated from the from the respiratory tract, spinal fluid and blood. |
| Pathogenicity | Some reports state that organism was more responsible for invasive human infection in compare of biogroup 1. |
