A team at the U.S. Communicable Disease Center (CDC)—William H. Ewing, A. C. McWhorter, M. R. Escobar and A. H. Lubin—studied the organisms and proposed a new genus and species:
Edwardsiella tarda was initially encountered in reptiles, particularly snakes, as an enteric bacterium.
Early studies found Edwardsiella-like organisms in the intestinal tract of snakes and other reptiles, helping establish its broad association with aquatic and reptilian hosts.
