Microbiology

In microbiology labs,E. cloacae is frequently grown at

30C on nutrient agar or broth or at 35C in tryptic soy

broth.[1] It is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium, is

facultatively anaerobic, and bears peritrichous flagella. It

is oxidase-negative and catalase-positive.[citation needed]

Industrial use

Enterobacter cloacae has been used in a bioreactor-based

method for the biodegradation of explosives and in the

biological control of plant diseases.[citation needed]

Safety

E. cloacae is considered a biosafety level 1 organism inthe United States and level 2 in Canada.[citation needed]

Genomics

A draft genome sequence ofEnterobacter cloacae subsp.

cloacae was announced in 2012. The bacteria used in the

study were isolated from giant panda feces.[2]

Enterobacter cloacae is a member of the normal gut flora

of many humans and is not usually a primary pathogen.[3]

It is sometimes associated with urinary tract and

respiratory tract infections. Treatment with cefepime and

gentamicin has been reported.[4]
