Overview

  • Lelliottia nimipressuralis, (aka Enterobacter nimipressuralis), is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 59%. Lelliottia nimipressuralis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Brady2013; Brenner1986; Grimont2005Bergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from elm trees with a disease called wetwood. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread (notes: plant pathogen). Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
