Enterobacter /En·tero·bac·ter/ (en´ter-o-bak?ter) a genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic rod-shaped bacteria
of the family Enterobacteriaceae, widely distributed in nature and occurring in the intestinal tract of humans and animals.
Species including E. aero´genes, E. agglo´merans, E. cloa´cae, and E. gergo´viae, are frequently the cause of
nosocomial infection, arising from contaminated medical devices and personnel.
Enterobacter: several species cause opportunistic infections of the urinary tract as well as other parts of the body.
E. aerogenes and E. cloacae are two such pathogens that do not cause diarrhea, but that are sometimes associated
with urinary tract and respiratory tract infections.
