Enterobacteriaceae is a large family of Gram-negative bacteria. It includes over 30 genera and more than 100 species. It includes over 30 genera and more than 100 species. Its classification above the level of family is still a subject of debate, but one classification places it in the order Enterobacterales of the class Gammaproteobacteria in ...
Enterobacter is a genus of common Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Cultures are found in soil, water, sewage, feces and gut environments. It is the type genus of the order Enterobacterales. [1]

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) or carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) are gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to the carbapenem class of antibiotics, considered the drugs of last resort for such infections.
"Enterobacteriales" was a monotypic order, containing only the family Enterobacteriaceae, and shared its type genus Escherichia. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The order contained a large, diverse group of species, occupying distinct ecological niches and possessing a variety of biochemical characteristics. [ 5 ]
The original assignment of species into the family Enterobacteriaceae was largely based on 16S rRNA genome sequence analyses, which is known to have low discriminatory power and the results of which changes depends on the algorithm and organism information used. Despite this, the analyses still exhibited polyphyletic branching, indicating the ...
Enterobacter cloacae is a member of the normal gut flora of many humans and is not usually a primary pathogen. [9] Some strains have been associated with urinary tract and respiratory tract infections in immunocompromised individuals.
Pantoea agglomerans is a Gram-negative bacterium that belongs to the family Erwiniaceae.. It was formerly called Enterobacter agglomerans, or Erwinia herbicola and is a ubiquitous bacterium commonly isolated from plant surfaces, seeds, fruit, and animal or human feces and can be found throughout a honeybee's environment.
