Details
| Description | Serratia grimesii are non-pathogenic bacteria capable,however,to invade eukaryotic cells provided that they synthesize intracellular metalloprotease grimelysin.Serratia grimesii was commonly associated with maize roots. |
| Synonyms | Serratia grimesii Grimont et al. 1983 |
| Habitat/Source | Serratia grimesii was commonly associated with maize roots. This species has been previously isolated from the rhizosphere of several plant species (Grimont et al., 1981), including strawberry,(oilseed rape (Berg et al., 2002),and non-transgenic potato (Lottmann et al., 1999). Serratia grimesii has been also isolated from the natural environment and from human clinical specimens. |
| Pathogenicity | Serratia grimesii are non-pathogenic bacteria capable,to invade eukaryotic cells provided that they synthesize intracellular metalloprotease grimelysin (Bozhokina et al. [2011] Cell. Biol. Int. 35: 111-118) A combination of actin-specific protease synthesis and the ability to penetrate into eukaryotic cells revealed in Serratia grimesii. |
