Enterobacter spp. Enterobacter spp are part of the enterobacteriaceae family. They are facultative anaerobic gram negative bacilli. Their means of motility is by means of petrichous flagella. They produce acid upon glucose fermentation and are methyl red negative, voges-proskauer positive. Optimal growth temperature is 30*C .80% are encapsulated. E. spp have been associated with nosocomial outbreak and are opportunistic pathogens. They can cause numerous infections such as cerebral abscess, pneumonia, meningitis, septicemia, some certain UTI infections. In addition, they have been noted in intravascular device-related infections, and surgical site infections. Many variants can cause extra intestinal infections. They are commonly found in

Enterobacter was spread from patient to patient due to inadequate attention to infection control measures, especially hand washing. Enterobacter is well equipped to cause nosocomial infections. It’s ubiquitous in the environment and can survive on skin and dry surfaces as well as replicate in contaminated fluids. It causes a wide variety of nosocomial infections including those that affect the lungs, urinary tract, intraabdominal cavity, and intravascular devices. Drug of choice
The incidence of nosocomial infections due to Enterobacter is rising and broad resistance to third generation cephalosporins and penicillins and quinocilins is an increasing problem. Among beta-lactams, the fourth generation cephalosporin and carbapenems are the most attractive options. Aminoglycosides retain good activity but usually have to be couples with another agent. Quinolones are highly active against most strains but emerging resistance is a major concern.

You can defend yourself from a bully only for so long before it finds something else to taunt you with. Bullying is everywhere and you can’t stop it all at once. It is a wide spread problem and just like some diseases, it has a broad range of effects. A bully could make you feel bad about yourself and mentally abuse you.
