title: [Taxonomy of Enterobacter sakazakii and the biological characteristics of the new species and genus].
abstract: Enterobacter sakazakii, one of the major pathogens affecting the safety of infant formula powder was defined as a species in 1980. However, the new names and new combinations about Enterobacter sakazakii notified in volume 58, part 6, of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSB). The taxonomic relationship of strains described as E. sakazakii, biological characteristics of its new genus and species, the development related to its isolation and identification were reviewed in this paper, in order to facilitate the related personnel to keep in touch with the latest developments on E. sakazakii. It's also conducive to unify and standardize the Chinese name for E. sakazakii.
