Pantoea is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae, recently separated from the Enterobacter genus. This genus includes at least 20 species.[1] Pantoea bacteria are yellow pigmented,[1] ferment lactose, are motile, and form mucoid colonies.[2] Besides that, some of the species show quorum sensing ability that could drive different gene expression hence controlling certain physiological activities [3]

Species

Pantoea agglomerans - most common Pantoea species recovered from humans and an opportunistic pathogen[4] associated with contaminated catheters and penetrating trauma.[5] Formerly known as Erwinia herbicola or Enterobacter agglomerans.[6]

Pantoea ananatis[1]

Pantoea stewartii[1]

Pantoea dispersa[1]

Pantoea deleyi[1]

Pantoea anthophila[1]

Pantoea allii[1]

Pantoea eucalyptii[1]
