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 the phylum Pseudomonadota.
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.

Feb 24, 2021 · Genera in the family Enterobacteriaceae are important pathogens for three of the four major HAI categories according to the CDC, namely, central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), and surgical site infections (SSI) (https://www.cdc.gov/hai/index.html).
The family Enterobacteriaceae is part of the domain: Bacteria, phylum: Proteobacteria; class: Gammaproteobacteria; and order: Enterobacteriales. There are over 30 genera and 120 species of Enterbacteriaceae but more than 95% of clinically significant strains fall into 10 genera and less than 25 species.
