Escherichia albertii is a Gram-negative species of bacteria within the same genus as E. coli.

It was recognised to cause disease after being isolated from the stools of children with diarrhea in Bangladesh,[1][2] and was originally thought to be Hafnia alvei based on biochemical assays.

[5] E. albertii differs from typical E. coli in being nonmotile and unable to ferment lactose.

As a human gastrointestinal pathogen, E. albertii is often linked to food- or water-borne outbreaks of disease,[6][7] and can cause sporadic cases of bacteraemia.

[8] The species may be misidentified as Enteropathogenic E. coli due to its production of intimin.
