Samsonia

Samsonia is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the family Yersiniaceae. Species within this genus were originally found in the bark of diseased "Erythrina" trees. Among bacterial plant pathogens within the Enterobacterales, "Samsonia" species may be most closely related to "Pectobacterium" species. Until now, only one species of this genus has been described ("S. erythrinae").
