Here we report the full genome sequence of Klebsiella pneumoniae KCTC 2242,consisting of a 5.26-Mb chromosome (57.6% GC%; 5,035 genes [4,923 encoding known proteins, 112 RNA genes]) and a 202-kb plasmid (50.2% GC%; 229 genes [229 encoding known proteins]).

conclusions the clinical klebsiella strains isolated from lahore region, pakistan exhibited resistance to most commonly used antibiotics, which can be a serious threat to public health. the study reported some potential actinomycetes strains, which exhibit promising activity against multidrug resistant klebsiella strains. results the isolated klebsiella strains showed resistance against most of...

background & objectives:extended-spectrum-b-lactamase (esbl)-producing strains of klebsiella pneumoniaare an important cause of many serious infections in hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients and delayed treatment of these infections in crease chance of death in patients. this study was performed to determine the prevalence of esbl-producing k. pneumonia and to evaluate the frequency o...

the objective of this study was to determine the phenotypic characteristics of kpc-producing pseudomonas aeruginosa and acinetobacter baumannii isolates. a case report study was performed at a tertiary burn care centre in tehran,  iran.  nine  isolates  of pseudomonas  aeruginosa  and  acinetobacter baumannii from a hospitalized case were isolated. the identity of isolates was confirmed and the...

Patients with ankylosing spondylitis were asked to follow a 'klebsiella exclusion diet' for 5 months of a 10-month study. The same percentage of faecal samples were positive for klebsiella whether the patients were on or off the experimental diet. The diet also failed to influence variability of klebsiella serotypes. We found no correlation between acquisition of klebsiella and deterioration of...

To date, no outbreak of carbapenemase-producing bacteria has been reported for Austria. While outbreaks of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae have been increasingly reported, no outbreak caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella oxytoca has been described yet, to the best of our knowledge. We report an outbreak of KPC-producing K. oxytoca. In 5 months, 31 KPC-producing K...

Hentges, David J. (Loyola University, Chicago, Ill.), and MacDonald Fulton. Ecological factors influencing the relationships between Klebsiella and Shigella in mixed cultures. J. Bacteriol. 87:527-535. 1964.-Viable-cell counts of Shigella flexneri and Klebsiella (Aerobacter aerogenes) in pure and mixed culture were made during growth under predetermined conditions of temperature, pH, oxygen sup...

AIM The aim of this study was to characterize beta-lactamase antimicrobial resistance in Klebsiella and Enterobacter species isolated from healthy and diarrheic dogs in Andhra Pradesh. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 136 rectal swabs were collected from healthy (92) and diarrheic (44) dogs, bacteriological cultured for Klebsiella and Enterobacter growth and screened for beta-lactamase antimi...

Klebsiella oxytoca can be either pathogenic or beneficial, depending on conditions. These opposing characteristics have not been fully elucidated. Here, we report the complete sequence of the K. oxytoca JKo3 genome, consisting of a single circular chromosome of 5,943,791 bp and four plasmids.
