Brenneria is a genus of Enterobacteria, containing mostly pathogens of woody plants. This genus is named after the microbiologist Don J. Brenner.
Most members of this genus were formerly placed in Erwinia.[1] On the other hand, B. paradisiaca was subsequently found to belong in Dickeya.
Species now placed in Brenneria include:
- Brenneria alni
- Brenneria nigrifluens
- Brenneria quercina
- Brenneria rubrifaciens
- Brenneria salicis
