This chapter deals with a number of both major and less prominent members of the Enterobacteriaceae family. The genera Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Citrobacter, Serratia, Plesiomonas, and Cronobacter cause a range of infections in humans. These continue to warrant serious consideration since many of these infections are poorly characterized, are likely to be underreported, and have the capacity to resist antimicrobial agents. The Infectious Diseases Society of America recognizes Klebsiella and Enterobacter spp. as members of the ESKAPE pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp.), which exhibit antimicrobial resistance and present new challenges in their pathogenesis and transmission. Therefore, this chapter contains a wide breadth of information not only on the taxonomy, detection, and identication of these genera, but also the global issue of antimicrobial resistance.
