Species code:	ESCF3
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacteriales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia (TaxID: 585054) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Escherichia fergusonii is the bacteria that is most closely related to E.coli. They are Gram-negative rods, oxidase negative, catalase positive, and usually motile, reduce nitrate to nitrite and ferment D-glucose. Strain ATCC 35469, the type strain, was isolated from the feces of a 1 year old boy, and may be commensal. It was previously known as CDC Enteric Group 10. The type strain is not virulent in a mouse model, however E.fergusonii has been isolated from human blood, urine and an arm wound. It has also been isolated from a number of other animals such as cow, pig, horse and turkey (partially adapted from PubMed 3968204).
