SERRATIA RUBIDAEA
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Serratia |
| Species: | Serratia rubidaea |
| Description: | This small,straight Gram negative rod is motile by peritrichous flagella. Serratia rubidaea is a potential strain for lipase production by utilizing some of the cheapest substrates. The Subspecies burdigalensis,colindalensis and rubidaea of Serratia rubidaea were created in 1990 by Grimont et al. |
| Synonyms: | Serratia rubidaea (Stapp 1940) Ewing et al. 1973; Serratia marinorubra ZoBell and Upham 1944 (Approved Lists 1980); Serratia marinorubra. |
| Source: | Rarely,it has been found in blood,the respiratory tract, wounds, and feces. It can be isolated infrequently from natural environments like fruits, vegetables, and ripe coconuts (Grimont et al.,1981c). |
| Pathogenicity: | Serratia rubidaea cause invasive human infection. Serratia rubidaea strain can cause spots on tomato fruits.(MH Abd-Alla et. al., Phytoparasitica, 2011) . |
