Pseudescherichia vulneris (Brenner et al. 1983) Alnajar and Gupta, 2017 |
Pseudescherichia is a Gram-negative genus of non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic rod-shaped bacteria from the family Enterobacteriaceae. [1] Based on conserved signature indels (CSIs) differentiating it from other members of this family, this genus and its sole species P. vulneris were divided from Escherichia , the genus of E. coli , in 2017. [1]
A November 2022 preprint article has identified another member species from a Oryza sativa rice seedling growing in Arkansas, proposing the name P. oryzae. [2]
