title: Isolation of Ewingella americana from mollusks.
abstract: Twenty-three of 2446 strains of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from mollusks were identified as Ewingella americana both biochemically and by DNA hybridization with strain S6/1111. The biochemical characteristics of the new strains showed few differences from previously reported strains obtained from human clinical specimens. These are the first strains of E. americana isolated from animals.
