You don't want THAT in your FOOD! Was your specific ID Pantoea
agglomerans by chance? If so, that's the "new" name for The Organism
Formerly Known As Enterobacter agglomerans. ;-) Look up the genus
Enterobacter in your Bergey's, and E. agglomerans if that's the bug your
ID gave you. It's a fecal coliform, which is why you don't want it in
your food.
Infectionately,
Yersinia.
