Microbiology reagents intended to identify a family of interrelated gram-negative, non-spore-forming anaerobic bacilli (Enterobacteriaceae); many of these bacteria are part of the normal flora of the large intestine in humans and other vertebrates. Enterobacteriaceae family also includes some pathologic types of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, and Shigella. These reagents may be specific for either manual or automated tests; reagents for identification of particular genera, types, and/or subtypes (e.g., Salmonella, Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysenteriae) are available.
