Enterobacter

Enterobacter aerogenes

The genus Enterobacter belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. They are gram-negative facultative anaerobic rods that do not create spores.

Basic characteristics[edit | edit source]

These are motile encapsulated bacteria. The genus includes 17 species, of which E. aerogenes and E. cloacae are particularly important. ^[1] Enterobacteriaceae are part of the common intestinal microflora. They are not pathogenic, but outside the intestine they can cause, for example, inflammation of the urinary tract or even meningitis in children (E. sakazakii). Their natural resistance to a number of antibiotics is essential.
