Samsonia is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the family Yersiniaceae. Species within this genus were originally found in the bark of diseased Erythrina trees. [1] Among bacterial plant pathogens within the Enterobacterales, Samsonia species may be most closely related to Pectobacterium species. [2] Until now, only one species of this genus has been described (S. erythrinae). [3]
