Ewingella americana is a Gram-negative rod, and the only species in the genus Ewingella. It was first identified and characterized in 1983. Ewingella is in the family Yersiniaceae. The organism is rarely reported as a human pathogen, though it has been isolated from a variety of clinical specimens, including wounds, sputum, urine, stool, blood, synovial fluid,[2] conjunctiva, and peritoneal dialysate.[3] The bacterium is named in honor of William H. Ewing, an American biologist who contributed to modern taxonomy.
