What is Escherichia vulneris : a New Species of Enterobacteriaceae Associated with Human Wounds about?

The name __Escherichia vulneris__ sp. nov. (formerly called Alma group 1 and Enteric group 1 by the Centers for Disease Control and API group 2 by Analytab Products, Inc.) is proposed for a group of isolates from the United States and Canada, 74% of which were from human wounds. __E. vulneris__ is a gram-negative, oxidase-negative, fermentative, motile rod with the characteristics of the family __Enterobacteriaceae.__ Biochemical reactions characteristic of 61 __E. vulneris__ strains were positive tests for methyl red, malonate, and lysine decarboxylase; a delayed positive test for arginine dihydrolase; acid production from d -mannitol, l -arabinose, raffinose, l -rhamnose, d -xylose, trehalose, cellobiose, and melibiose; negative tests for Voges-Proskauer, indole, urea, H ~2~ S, citrate, ornithine decarboxylase, phenylalanine deaminase, and DNase; and no acid from dulcitol, adonitol, __myo__ -inositol, and d -sorbitol. Two-thirds of the strains produced yellow pigment. Most strains gave negative or delayed positive reactions in tests for lactose, sucrose, and KCN. The __E. vulneris__ strains tested were resistant to penicillin and clindamycin, were resistant or showed intermediate
