Escherichia hermannii is a

bacterium. Strains of this species were originally isolated from human wounds, sputum, and stool. The species is named for American microbiologists George J. Hermann and Lloyd G. Herman.[1]

A 2016 publication proposed reclassifying E. hermannii as a species of a new genus within the

GTDB and NCBI agree with the 2016 reassignment.[4][5]

Pathogenicity

E. hermannii is generally considered nonpathogenic but has been isolated from human wounds,[6] eye infections,[7][8] and blood.[9][10][11]
