Gammaproteobacteria is a class of bacteria in the phylum Pseudomonadota (synonym Proteobacteria). It contains about 250 genera, which makes it the most genus-rich taxon of the Prokaryotes. Several medically, ecologically, and scientifically important groups of bacteria belong to this class. All members of this class are Gram-negative.

Dec 24, 2022 · Gammaproteobacteria is a class of several medically, ecologically and scientifically important groups of bacteria, such as the Enterobacteriaceae ( Escherichia coli ), Vibrionaceae and Pseudomonadaceae. Like all Proteobacteria, the Gammaproteobacteria are Gram-negative.
Gammaproteobacteria consists of human pathogens (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa Salmonella, Vibrio, and Yersinia,); some genera are methane oxidizers and some genera are in symbiosis with hydrothermal vent dwelling animals.

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.
Gammaproteobacteria is a class of bacteria in the phylum Pseudomonadota. It contains about 250 genera, which makes it the most genus-rich taxon of the Prokaryotes. Several medically, ecologically, and scientifically important groups of bacteria belong to this class.
Class Gamma Proteobacteria holds in excess of 20 genera containing about four dozen species that infect humans. It would be unproductive to describe each species in this large and heterogeneous group of organisms.
