The Erwiniaceae are a family of Gram-negative bacteria which includes a number of plant pathogens and insect endosymbionts.[1] This family is a member of the order Enterobacterales in the class Gammaproteobacteria of the phylum Proteobacteria. The type genus of this family is Erwinia.[2]

The name Erwiniaceae is derived from the Latin term Erwinia, referring the type genus of the family and the suffix "-aceae", an ending used to denote a family. Together, Erwiniaceae refers to a family whose nomenclatural type is the genus Erwinia.[1]

Biochemical Characteristics[1]

These bacteria are catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, and do not produce indole or hydrogen disulfide. Most species are positive for Voges-Proskauer test, with the exception of Erwinia toletana, Erwinia ypographi and some strains of Erwinia oleae.

Historical Systematics and Current Taxonomy

Erwiniaceae, as of 2021, contains 8 validly published genera.[2] Members of this family were originally members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, a large phylogenetically unrelated group of species with distinct biochemical characteristics and different ecological niches. The original assignment of species into the family Enterobacteriaceae was largely based on 16S rRNA genome sequence analyses, which is known to have low discriminatory power and the results of which changes depends on the algorithm and organism information used. Despite this, the analyses still exhibited polyphyletic branching, indicating the presence of distinct subgroups within the family.[3]

In 2016, Adeolu et al. proposed the division of Enterobacteriaceae into 7 novel families based on comparative genomic analyses and the branching pattern of various phylogenetic trees constructed from conserved genome sequences, 16S rRNA sequences and multilocus sequence analyses. Molecular markers, specifically conserved signature indels, specific to this family were also identified as evidence supporting the division independent of phylogenetic trees.

Molecular signatures

Members of this family can be reliably distinguished from all other bacteria through molecular markers known as conserved signature indels (CSIs). CSIs are found in conserved regions in genes and proteins of a group of organisms and flanked on both sides by highly conserved sequences, ensuring reliable sequence alignment and their dependableness as a molecular marker.[4] These specific insertions and deletions result from rare genetic changes in a common ancestor and are passed down vertically to descendants of the ancestor.[4] CSIs can also serve as a basis for developing diagnostic methods for pathogenic species.[5][6]

12 CSIs were identified for this family in the proteins glutamate–cysteine ligase, DNA gyrase (subunit B), LPS assembly protein LptD, Thiol: disulfide interchange protein DsbA precursor, two-compo- nent sensor histidine kinase, RNA helicase, tRNA pseudour- idine(13) synthase TruD, glycine/betaine ABC transporter ATP-binding protein, superoxide dismutase, and stationary phase inducible protein CsiE.[1] These CSIs can be used to identify additional species belonging to Erwiniaceae through in-silico or other experimental methods.
