Listeria seeligeri

Listeria seeligeri is a species of bacteria. It is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, motile, non-spore-forming bacillus. It is non-pathogenic. The species was first isolated from plants, soil, and animal feces in Europe. The species was first proposed in 1983, and is named after Heinz P. R. Seeliger.[1] Seeliger first proposed the species L. ivanovii and L. innocua, and published extensively on members of the genus Listeria.[2][3]
