Listeria seeligeri is a species of bacteria. It is a Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, motile, non-spore-forming bacillus. It is non-pathongenic. 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 published extensively on members of the Listeria genus.[2]
L. seeligeri is one of only 3 species of Listeria that is hemolytic, along with L. ivanovii and L. monocytogenes.[3]
