Some species of the genus are admittedly important hospital pathogens. Additionally, various animal and plant foods have been linked to the presence of , including resistant strains. However, due to isolation difficulties and the lack of official standard methods, there is a dearth of work and epidemiological data on foodborne diseases caused by this microorganism. Considering that spp. may represent a serious public health problem, especially because of their resistance to carbapenems and colistin, and because of the fact that these pathogens may transfer resistance genes to other bacteria, studies are needed to evaluate the pathogenicity of both food and clinical isolates and to search for them using control strategies, such as the adoption of more efficient disinfection measures and use of antimicrobial substances (AMS). In contrast, AMS production by strains of the genus has already been described, and its potential for application against other Gram-negative food or clinical pathogens, reveals a new field to be explored.
该属的一些物种诚然是重要的医院病原体。此外，各种动植物性食品都与该菌的存在有关，包括耐药菌株。然而，由于分离困难以及缺乏官方标准方法，关于这种微生物引起的食源性疾病的研究工作和流行病学数据匮乏。鉴于该菌属可能代表一个严重的公共卫生问题，特别是因为它们对碳青霉烯类和黏菌素具有抗性，并且这些病原体可能将耐药基因转移到其他细菌，因此需要开展研究来评估食品分离株和临床分离株的致病性，并采用控制策略来寻找它们，例如采用更有效的消毒措施和使用抗菌物质（AMS）。相比之下，该菌属菌株产生AMS的情况已有描述，其对其他革兰氏阴性食品或临床病原体的应用潜力揭示了一个有待探索的新领域。
