plesiomonas
all enterobacteriaceae ferment
glucose
enterobacteriaceae reduce nitrate to nitrite except for
photorhabdus and xenorhabduls
all enterobacteriaceae are motile in body temp except for
kleibsiella, shigella, yersinia

• Fermentation of glucose, lactose, trehalose, and xylose
• Production of indole from tryptophan
• Glucose fermentation by the mixed acid pathway: methyl red-positive and Voges-Proskauer-negative
• Does not produce HaS, DNase, urease, or phenylalanine deaminase
• Cannot use citrate as a sole carbon source
e coli
most common cause of UTI
e coli
kills immune effector cells
cytolysins
