The reason for development of system for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae.
Introduction:
Enterobacteriaceae is a large family that belongs to basically gram-negative bacteria. The members of this family are generally Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Salmonella, Shigella, E.coli, Proteus, and Serratia. These bacteria are found in human gut, skin, soil, sand, and diary products.

Explanation of Solution
Bacteria are generally divided into two categories, gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The gram-negative bacteria are further divided into enterics and non-fermenters. From a long time, various substrates were being used to differentiate between non-fermenters and enterics. Both these groups are responsible for the cause of various bacterial infections in the human population. Therefore, it was important to develop a system that would help in identifying the members of Enterobacteriaceae.
The reason for development of system for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae is tp handle the diseases in humans caused by them.
