Enterobacteriaceae is a large family of Gram-negative bacteria. Majority of their members inhabit soil, water , decaying matter and are common residents of gut of animals that's why named as enteric bacteria. They are the most common cause of diarrhea because of the enterotoxins they produce to survive.

The medically important Enteric bacteria are:

  • Escherichia coli
  • Serratia
