S. blattae S. pseudoproteus Shimwellia is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae.
The two species of Shimwellia are Shimwellia blattae (formerly Escherichia blattae) and Shimwellia pseudoproteus (formerly Obesumbacterium pseudoproteus).
[1] Species in Shimwellia are genetically similar to Escherichia but differ in notable ways.
S. blattae can synthesize coenzyme B12[2] and S. pseudoproteus is associated with beer spoilage.
