Abstract

Enterobacter species are members of the ESKAPE group, initially being described in 1960. Since then, the genus Enterobacter has gone through many changes with the advent of improved phenotypic and genotypic analyses. Today, there are 18 Enterobacter species in this genus. They are Gram-negative, rod-shaped, generally motile,non-spore forming, oxidase negative, facultative anaerobes. Food-borne contaminations from Enterobacter have been found in pasteurized milk and in dried dairy products.
