Enterobacter species

Short Business Description
Members of the genus Enterobacter are gram-negative, lactose-fermenting bacilli. They are opportunistic pathogens once outside of their normal intestinal environment. Human infection generally follows the fecal-oral route, although other routes are also possible. Enterobacter is a leading cause of nosocomial infections, especially urinary tract infections and peritonitis. As fecal coliforms, their presence can indicate wastewater contamination.
