Names Escherichia fergusonii ATCC 35469
Accession numbers NC_011740, NC_011743
Background Escherichia fergusonii is the bacteria that is most closely related to E.coli. They are Gram-negative rods, oxidase negative, catalase positive, and usually motile, reduce nitrate to nitrite and ferment D-glucose. Strain ATCC 35469, the type strain, was isolated from the feces of a 1 year old boy, and may be commensal. It was previously known as CDC Enteric Group 10. The type strain is not virulent in a mouse model, however E.fergusonii has been isolated from human blood, urine and an arm wound. It has also been isolated from a number of other animals such as cow, pig, horse and turkey (partially adapted from PubMed 3968204). (EBI Integr8)
