| klebsiella infection in a neonatal intensive care unit: role of bacteriological surveillance. | an outbreak of 12 cases of infection occurred over a 9-month period in a regional referral neonatal intensive care unit. the pathogen was a gentamicin- and multiply-resistant klebsiella oxytoca (k55), of high virulence. seven of 10 neonates with septicaemia died, the majority within 24 h of the onset of infection. screening for the resistant klebsiella revealed that 64 (39 per cent) of 164 neonates became carriers and remained so throughout their stay. hand carriage appeared to be a mode of cros ... | 1984 | 6085092 |
| recommended test panel for differentiation of klebsiella species on the basis of a trilateral interlaboratory evaluation of 18 biochemical tests. | klebsiella pneumoniae and klebsiella oxytoca are the two most frequently encountered klebsiella species giving rise to infections in humans, but other klebsiella species can also be found in clinical specimens: klebsiella ozaenae, klebsiella rhinoscleromatis, klebsiella terrigena, klebsiella planticola, klebsiella ornithinolytica, and enterobacter aerogenes (klebsiella mobilis). however, many of these species are indistinguishable by the conventional methods employed routinely in the clinical mi ... | 2004 | 15297514 |

| novel methylotrophic bacteria isolated from the river thames (london, uk). | enrichment and elective culture for methylotrophs from sediment of the river thames in central london yielded a diversity of pure cultures representing several genera of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, which were mainly of organisms not generally regarded as typically methylotrophic. substrates leading to successful isolations included methanol, monomethylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, methanesulfonate and dimethylsulfone. several isolates were studied in detail and shown by the ... | 2008 | 18681896 |
| comparative epidemiology of gentamicin-resistant enterobacteria: persistence of carriage and infection. | during a two-year period from january 1979, 260 patients have been involved in an outbreak of carriage and infection due to gentamicin-resistant enterobacteria. we have examined the duration of carriage of such enterobacteria and have compared the carriage of klebsiella with that of other resistant enterobacteria. carriage of gentamicin-resistant enterobacteria occurred most frequently and was least sporadic in the intestinal tract. vaginal carriage was observed in 49 out of 68 patients tested a ... | 1982 | 7076872 |
