Overview

  • Pantoea vagans is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, motile, short rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 55.4%. Pantoea vagans is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Brady2009)



  • This organism has been recovered from eucalyptus showing blight, Uganda. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
