These organisms occur in the feces of humans and other animals and in sewage, soil, water, and dairy products; recognized as an agent of common nosocomial infections of the urinary tract, lungs, or blood; somewhat resistant to antibiotics. This genus characteristically acquires resistance rapidly in part because of the presence of inducible β-lactamases; the type species is Enterobacter cloacae.Aerobacter An obsolete genus of bacteria, the members of which have been reclassified as Enterobacter spp or Klebsiella spp [Bergey's].AerobacterenUK Related to Aerobacter: Aerobacter aerogenesSynonyms for Aerobacternoun aerobic bacteria widely distributed in natureSynonymsRelated Words- bacteria genus
