Enterobacter are bacteria that belong to a group of bacteria called the Enterobacteriaceae family.
Species of Enterobacter can be found in the environment and are also part of the normal flora in the human intestinal tract.
Enterobacter infections are treated with antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones, carbapenems and cephalosporins; treatment is dependent on the susceptibility of the organism to antibiotics and the site of the infection.

The issue of pathogens and in particular Enterobacter sakazakii in powdered infant formula was brought to the attention of the 35th session of the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH) (report) by two separate processes.
The 24th session of the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU) (report) requested the CCFH to revise the Recommended International Code of Hygienic Practices for Foods for Infants and Children (CAC/RCP 21-1979) in order to address concerns raised by pathogens that may be present in infant formula.

The Gram-negative bacilli of the genera Escherichia, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Serratia, Citrobacter, and Proteus (Table 26- 1) are members of the normal intestinal flora of humans and animals and may be isolated from a variety of environmental sources.
Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Serratia species are frequent causes of bacteremia at some medical centers and also are frequently involved in infections associated with respiratory tract manipulations, such as tracheostomy and procedures using contaminated inhalation therapy equipment.
The strong (E coli, K pneumoniae, Enterobacter aerogenes) and occasionally the slow or weak (Serratia, Citrobacter) lactose-fermenting coliforms produce characteristic pigmented colonies on the enteric plating media.
