Species of bacterium
Escherichia hermannii is a Gram-negative , rod-shaped species of bacterium . Strains of this species were originally isolated from human wounds, sputum , and stool. The species is named for American microbiologists George J. Hermann and Lloyd G. Herman.[ 1]
A 2016 publication proposed reclassifying E. hermannii as a species of a new genus within the Enterobacteriaceae , Atlantibacter , a change which would rename the species to Atlantibacter hermannii .[ 2] The LPSN considers the new name a synonym, not validly published (i.e. made outside of IJSB and IJSEM) under the ICNP.[ 3] GTDB and NCBI agree with the 2016 reassignment.[ 4] [ 5]
E. hermannii is generally considered nonpathogenic but has been isolated from human wounds,[ 6] eye infections,[ 7] [ 8] and blood.[ 9] [ 10] [ 11]
