Grimontia hollisae explained
Grimontia hollisae is a species of Grimontia proteobacteria (family Vibrionaceae) found naturally in marine environments.[1] Based on phylogenetic evidence, the species was reclassified in 2003 from Vibrio hollisae.[2]
G. hollisae is primarily associated with gastroenteritis, causing a moderate to severe diarrhea.[3] Most recorded cases of infection occurred after the consumption of seafood, namely as oysters. Cases of bacteremia due to G. hollisae have been reported.[4] [5]
G. hollisae is the only pathogenic species in the Vibrionaceae family that does not grow on thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose agar (TCBS).
