ENTEROBACTER
Enterobacter species are motile aerobic gram negative bacilli belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae. The major species are Enterobacter cloacae, E.aerogenes and E.agglomerans. They first achieved wide notoriety as pathogens in 1976 following a nationwide outbreak of septicemia in 378 patients at 25 hospitals resulting from contaminated intravenous solutions. Because they can replicate in glucose-containing parental fluids, they continue to cause sporadic outbreaks of this type.
Like other enteric gram-negative rods, Enterobacter species cause a wide variety of nosocomial infections, including those affecting the lungs, urinary tract, intrabdominal cavity and intravascular devices. E.sakazakii causes neonatal sepsis with meningitis.
