AB Escherichia  coli,  Klebsiella,  Proteus,  Enterobacter,  Serratia,  Citrobacter,  Morganella,  Providencia,  Cronobacter,  and  Edwardsiella  are  gram-negative  enteric  bacilli  that  are  members  of  the  family  Enterobacteriaceae.  Salmonella,  Shigella,  and  Yersinia,  also  in  the  family  Enterobacteriaceae,  are  discussed  in  Chaps.  62,  63,  and  68,  respectively.  These  pathogens  cause  a  wide  variety  of  infections  involving  diverse  anatomic  sites  in  both  healthy  and  compromised  hosts.  Increasing  antimicrobial  resistance  in  this  group  has  put  them  at  the  forefront  of  an  evolving  public  health  crisis.  In  addition,  new  infectious  syndromes  have  emerged.  Therefore,  a  thorough  knowledge  of  clinical  presentations  and  appropriate  therapeutic  choices  is  necessary  for  optimal  outcomes.
