| klebsiella variicola, a novel species with clinical and plant-associated isolates. | a new klebsiella species, k. variicola, is proposed on the basis of total dna-dna hybridization, on the monophyly observed in the phylogenetic analysis derived from the sequences of rpob, gyra, mdh, infb, phoe and nifh genes and on distinct phenotypic traits. the bacteria from this new species seem to be genetically isolated from k. pneumoniae strains, do not ferment adonitol and were obtained from plants (such as banana, rice, sugar cane and maize) and hospitals. the type strain is f2r9t (= atc ... | 2004 | 15053318 |

| identification of clinical isolates of indole-positive and indole-negative klebsiella spp. | biochemical methods employed to classify bacterial species have limitations and may have contributed to the taxonomic complexity recently reported for the genus klebsiella. the objective of the present study was to apply a simple biochemical test panel to classify a collection of human klebsiella isolates. we found that with only three additional tests, it is possible to place most isolates in a defined species. analysis of a 512-bp sequence of the rpob gene was used as the reference. a total of ... | 2006 | 16928968 |
| peptide nucleic acid fluorescence in situ hybridization for rapid detection of klebsiella pneumoniae from positive blood cultures. | this study evaluated a novel peptide nucleic acid (pna) probe targeting a region of the 23s rrna gene of klebsiella pneumoniae by fluorescence in situ hybridization (fish). analytical performance was determined using 39 reference strains and other well-characterized strains of klebsiella spp. and enterobacter aerogenes. the probe was found to be specific for the k. pneumoniae complex (k. pneumoniae including klebsiella ozaenae and klebsiella variicola). the diagnostic accuracy was evaluated with ... | 2007 | 17577055 |
| distribution of the putative type vi secretion system core genes in klebsiella spp. | the type vi secretion system (t6ss) is a recently characterized secretion system which appears to be involved in bacterial pathogenesis as a potential nano-syringe for the translocation of effector proteins into the eukaryotic host cell cytoplasm. until now no evidence was provided for the presence of t6ss in the genomes of the sequenced representatives of klebsiella spp., including the human opportunistic pathogen klebsiella pneumoniae. however, in a previous study by lawlor et al. (2005), were ... | 2010 | 20932940 |

| sources of klebsiella and raoultella species on dairy farms: be careful where you walk. | klebsiella spp. are a common cause of mastitis, milk loss, and culling on dairy farms. control of klebsiella mastitis is largely based on prevention of exposure of the udder to the pathogen. to identify critical control points for mastitis prevention, potential klebsiella sources and transmission cycles in the farm environment were investigated, including oro-fecal transmission, transmission via the indoor environment, and transmission via the outdoor environment. a total of 305 samples was coll ... | 2011 | 21257074 |
| partial characterization and flocculating behavior of an exopolysaccharide produced in nutrient-poor medium by a facultative oligotroph klebsiella sp. pb12. | a facultative oligotrophic strain from the water sample of river mahananda, siliguri india was selected for its property to produce exopolysaccharide (eps) in nutrient-poor (oligotrophic) medium. viability assay of the strain was performed in sterile liquid lb, r2a, river water and diluted (10(-3)) lb at 30°c and ph 7 to understand oligotrophy. the selected strain was identified by 16s rrna gene sequencing and designated as klebsiella sp. pb12. phylogenetic analysis showed its closest relationsh ... | 2013 | 22944200 |
