Enterobacteriaceae (C0014346)

Definition (CSP)family of gram negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod shaped bacteria that do not form endospores; organisms are distributed worldwide with some being saprophytes and others being plant and animal parasites; many species are of considerable economic importance due to their pathogenic effects on agriculture and livestock.

Escherichia (C0014833)

Definition (CSP)genus of gram negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod shaped bacteria found in the large intestine of warm blooded animals; nonpathogenic or opportunistic.

Klebsiella (C0022727)

Definition (CSP)genus of gram negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod shaped bacteria whose organisms arrange singly, in pairs, or short chains; this genus is commonly found in the intestinal tract and is an opportunistic pathogen that can give rise to bacteremia, pneumonia, urinary tract and several other types of human infection.

Proteus (C0033697)

Definition (CSP)genus of gram negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod shaped bacteria that occurs in the intestines of humans and a wide variety of animals, as well as in manure, soil, and polluted waters; its species are pathogenic, causing urinary tract infections and are also considered secondary invaders, causing septic lesions at other sites of the body.
