Name | Photorhabdus asymbiotica infection |
Description | Photorhabdus are Gram-negative nematode-symbiotic and insect-pathogenic bacteria. The species Photorhabdus asymbiotica can infect humans as well as insects. P. asymbiotica causes both locally invasive soft tissue infection and disseminated disease with bacteraemia. At present, there are 2 recognized subspecies, P. asymbiotica subsp. asymbiotica and P. asymbiotica subsp. australis. |
