The applicability of Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella typing reagents for classifying clinical strains of Enterobacter aerogenes was evaluated. Of 75 strains, none were agglutinated by E. cloacae O antisera or were sensitive to E. cloacae bacteriophages. In contrast, 70 strains reacted with Klebsiella capsular antisera. Two-thirds of the strains were lysed by Klebsiella typing phages. A set ...

MacConkey-inositol-carbenicillin agar has successfully been used as a primary selective medium for Klebsiella enumeration. With pure cultures, nearly 100% recovery of Klebsiella was observed by membrane filtration. With environmental samples using membrane filtration, 95% of typical pink- to red-colored colonies were verified as Klebsiella, as opposed to only 1% of yellow background colonies. R...

We report here the draft genome sequences of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains Kp1803 and Kp3380 isolated during a large outbreak at A Coruña Hospital in Spain. The final genome assemblies for Kp1803 and Kp3380 comprise approximately 6.6 and 6.1 Mb, respectively, and both strains have G+C contents of 57.2%.

We report here the genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain, which caused an outbreak in a neonatal ward in 2011. The genome consists of a single chromosome (5,278 kb) and three plasmids (362 kb, 5 kb, and 4 kb).

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...
