Oct 11, 2014 · Enterobacteriaceae is a family of Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming rods. Characteristics of this family include being motile, catalase positive, and oxidase negative; reduction of nitrate to nitrite; and acid production from glucose fermentation.
Enterobacterales are a large order of different types of germs (bacteria) that commonly cause infections in healthcare settings. Examples of germs in the Enterobacterales order include Escherichia coli ( E. coli) and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Antibiotic resistance occurs when the germs no longer respond to the antibiotics designed to kill them.
