results the k. pneumonia isolates were resistant to erythromycin (70%), cefixime (53.3%), tetracycline (50%) and ceftazidime (36.6%). the amplification of teta and tetb genes of k. pneumonia revealed that all of the isolates harbored these genes. conclusions resistance to tetracycline and other antibiotics, and the presence of various resistance genes in k. pneumonia strains are alarming signs ...

We describe here the genome sequence of the novel temperate Klebsiella pneumoniae phage KPP5665-2 isolated from a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain recovered from milk in Germany in 2016. The phage exhibited a narrow host range and a siphoviridal morphology. KPP5665-2-related prophage sequences were detected in whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data of various Klebsiella species isolates.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, encapsulated, lactose-fermenting, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. Here we present draft genome assemblies of Klebsiella pneumoniae AS, which was isolated in China. The genomic information will provide a better understanding of the physiology, adaptation, and evolution of K. pneumoniae.

background and objectives: β-lactamase production is the predominant mechanism for resistance to β-lactams in enterobacteriaceae. the producing isolates are often multidrug resistant and are major hosts for extended spectrum β-lactamases. this study was designed to determine the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing isolates of escherichia coli and klebsiella pneumoniae and thei...

Introduction. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a well-known cause of liver abscess. Higher rates of liver abscess associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae are seen in Taiwan. Metastatic endophthalmitis is a common complication associated with a poor prognosis despite aggressive therapy. Case Report. We report a case of a 67-year-old Korean female with Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess. The patient devel...

White leghorn hens were immunized intramuscularly with formalin killed Klebsiella pneumoniae cells to generate Klebsiella pneumoniae antibodies (IgY) in egg yolk. Booster injections of increasing concentrations of antigen were given to raise the antibody level in egg yolk. Amount of protein varied from 0.87 7.4mg/ml in egg yolk throughout the immunization period. The antibodies were partially p...

ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 5 Number 3(2016) pp. 194-205 Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com The present study was conducted to detect the presence of MBLs among the isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae by phenotypical methods and genotypic multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method among neonates with sepsis. The study included neonates who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (...
