They are a large FAMILY of gram negative [[Pathogens|pathogen]]s and '''not''' part of [[Enterobacter species]]. Enterobacter is a genus (group of species) that is just ONE of the family Enterobacteriaceae. **all Corynebacterium spp (gram +ve) *This code could also be used for infection with mixed bacteria that ARE believed to be true pathogens but have not (for some reason) been speciated. == Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition == {{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Bacteria}} {{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Non-specific pathogens}} {{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Pathogens}} == Candidate [[Combined ICD10 codes]] == == Related CCI Codes == {{Data Integrity Check List}} == Related Articles == {{Related Articles}} {{ICD10 footer}} {{EndPlaceHolder}}
