Enterobacterales is an order of Gram-negative, non-spore forming, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria with the class Gammaproteobacteria. The type genus of this order is Enterobacter.
Apr 11, 2024 · Overview. Enterobacterales are a group of bacteria that cause infections in healthcare settings and communities. Some species are also a normal part of the human gut. Some Enterobacterales produce enzymes called extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs).
Enterobacter is now the type genus for the order Enterobacterales and includes a number of species, but the most commonly isolated from human clinical specimens is the E. cloacae complex (ECC) with a clinical spectrum of disease that includes primarily urinary tract infection, bloodstream infection, ventilator-associated and hospital-acquired ...
Apr 11, 2024 · Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are germs resistant to one or several antibiotics called carbapenems. In 2017, CRE caused about 13,100 infections in hospital patients and about 1,100 deaths in the United States. 1
Aug 9, 2020 · Enterobacter is a genus of gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family. It is also described as non-spore-forming, flagella-containing, urease positive, and lactose fermenting. Virulence of this bacterium depends on a variety of factors.
Edwardsiella contains several species that live in a variety of animals, including snakes, seals, and fish. A rare disease Edwardsiellosis typically occurs after ingestion of insufficiently cooked freshwater fish (which harbors the organism in its gastrointestinal (GI) tract).
Feb 24, 2021 · The family Enterobacteriaceae has undergone significant morphogenetic changes in its more than 85-year history, particularly during the past 2 decades (2000 to 2020). The development and introduction of new and novel molecular methods coupled with innovative laboratory techniques have led to many advances.
Feb 24, 2021 · In addition to proposing the name “Enterobacterales” to replace the previous order name “Enterobacteriales,” which has never been validated, the authors propose placing some current family members into six newly created families while leaving other genera in the family Enterobacteriaceae.
Jan 28, 2020 · Genome-based phylogeny and taxonomy of the ‘Enterobacteriales’: proposal for Enterobacterales ord. nov. divided into the families Enterobacteriaceae, Erwiniaceae fam. nov., Pectobacteriaceae fam. nov., Yersiniaceae fam. nov., Hafniaceae fam. nov., Morganellaceae fam. nov., and Budviciaceae fam. nov.

May 15, 2020 · On blood agar, colonies of the Enterobacterales may be beta-hemolytic and are typically medium to large, glistening, and gray; however, some species have a characteristic morphology. Four commonly used methods to identify the Enterobacterales are the indole, methyl red, Voges-Proskauer, and citrate tests.
