SERRATIA ODORIFERA BIOGROUP2
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Serratia |
| Species: | Serratia odorifera biogroup2 |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Genbank: | NA [Genome] [Nucleotide] |
| Size (Mb): | N.A. |
| GC %: | N.A. |
| Genes: | N.A. |
| CDS Number: | N.A. |
