title: Etude taxonomique de souches appartenant ou apparentées au genre Erwinia, groupe Herbicola, et à l'espece Enterobacter agglomerans.
abstract: The classification of 169 strains related to the species Enterobacter agglomerans or Erwinia berbicola has been carried out by numerical procedure. The taxonomic position of the strains is discussed in relation to the species Enterobacter sakazakii, Rahnella aquatilis, Escherichia adecarboxylata. Five principal groups can be defined. The Ent. agglomerans or E. herbicola species can be divided into 15 subgroups. Some of the Ent. agglomerans strains are phenotypically related to the Ent. sakazakii and Esc. adecarboxylata strains.
