Other Enterobacteriaceae

The ERIC BRC project is funded to cover five enterobacterial pathogens: diarrheagenic Escherichia coli , Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., and two Yersinia spp.. But a number of closely related organisms not included on the NIAID list of Category A-C priority pathogens are very useful for comparative purposes and genome sequences from other members of these genera are therefore included in the database (mirrored from the sister ASAP database at the University of Wisconsin-Madison).

The Enterobacteriaceae include a number other genera, not only human- and animal-associated but also a number of insect- and plant-associated organisms, both pathogens and commensals/epiphytes. Mechanisms of host-microbe interaction are often shared among the species associated with humans, animals, and plants, making all of them useful reference genomes. Indeed, it than has been said that "no taxonomically defined group of bacteria has had greater impact on infectious disease, medical and clinical microbiology, and public health than the enterobacteria."[1]
