PY - 2017 T2 - Harrison's Infectious Diseases, 3e 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.
