Enhydrobacter is a genus of bacteria which belongs to the class Alphaproteobacteria.[2] So far, only one species is known (Enhydrobacter aerosaccus).[3] Enhydrobacter has been discussed to be reclassified to the family Rhodospirillaceae and the class Alphaproteobacteria.[4] Because of its oxidase positive it can not be placed in the family Enterobacteriaceae as it is not a parasite of birds or mammals.[5]
