Enterobacteriaceae is a family under the Gram-negative bacteria with known characteristics of being facultative anaerobe, non-spore former, and common- ly motile but non-motile genera are also present. Enterobacteriaceae is com- monly found in the environment as well as the gut of animals. Almost all foodborne pathogenic bacteria fall under this family including Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Escherichia, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella, Serratia, Shigella, and Yersinia. Enterobacteriaceae is a release parameter in various food, be- verages, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic samples. As a recent development in food safety, Enterobacter sakazakii is being monitored in for- mula milk due to high risk of milk contamination, as well as its health impact when ingested by babies.
