A collection of <i>Serratia marcescens</i> differing in their insect pathogenicity towards <i>Manduca sexta</i> larvae

2020-07-29

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the ability of Serratia marcescens to kill Manduca sexta (tobacco/tomato hornworm) larvae following injection of ca. 5 × 10 5 bacteria into the insect hemolymph. Fifteen bacterial strains were examined, including 12 non-pigmented clinical isolates from humans. They fell into 6 groups depending on the timing and rate at which they caused larval death. Relative insect toxicity was not correlated w...
