Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
The family Yersiniaceae contains the type genus Yersinia and the genera Chania, Ewingella, Rahnella, Rouxiella, Samsonia, and Serratia. These bacteria are motile, catalase-positive, and do not produce hydrogen disulfide. Members of the family Yersiniaceae form a distinct monophyletic cluster in genome- and multigene-based phylogenetic trees and can be distinguished from all other bacteria by three conserved signature indels in the protein TetR family transcriptional regulator and a hypothetical protein.
