Samsonia is a genus of Gram-negativebacteria in the family Yersiniaceae. Species within this genus were originally found in the bark of diseased Erythrina trees.[1] Among bacterial plant pathogens within the Enterobacterales, Samsonia species may be most closely related to Pectobacterium species.[2] Until now, only one species of this genus has been described (S. erythrinae).[3]
