Grimontia hollisae is a species of Grimontia proteobacteria (family Vibrionaceae) found naturally in marine environments. [3] Based on phylogenetic evidence, the species was reclassified in 2003 from Vibrio hollisae. [4]
G. hollisae is primarily associated with gastroenteritis, causing a moderate to severe diarrhea. [5] Most recorded cases of infection occurred after the consumption of seafood, namely as oysters. Cases of bacteremia due to G. hollisae have been reported. [6] [7]
