1.State the medical relevance of the Enterobacteriacea family. - An estimated 80% of all clinical samples are positive for the presence of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae suggesting they are a significant source of bacterial pathogens to humans. Since this group is of medical relevance, we will use the Enterobacteriaceae as a pool of unknown bacteria from which your investigative team will select one organism and use the numerous biochemical tests to ascertain the bacteria's ident...
