no species of klebsiella produce endospores..klebsiella do produce capsule which helps them differentiate from Escherichia coli
Klebsiella is a gram negative short rods and usually only gram positive rods such as bacillus species produce endospores. One variation to this was an organism called Sporosarcina halophila which was known to be a cocci bearing spores but this organism was later reclassified as Halobacillus halophilus, a pleomorphic bacilli.

Small rounded thick-walled resting cell?
I believe that you are referring to a bacterial endospore. Only a small number of bacteria can produce these (Gram-positive Firmicutes). Endospores are very tough and allow the bacteria that can produce them to survive high temperatures, pressures, drought, etc.
Does klebsiella ferment lactose and or produce gas?
Yes. Incubation in TSI slanted agar tests positive for both characteristics.
Type of spore that can remain dormant until favorable conditions for growth arise?
A type of spore that can remain dominant until favorable conditions for growth arise is called an endospore. It refers to an asexual spore that develops inside some bacterial cells.
Why discovery of endospore was important in microbilogy?
the discovery of endospore allow the scientist to set a best temperature for stelization, and it have alerted them in the synthesis of different medicine, to what kind of medicine can pernatrate the endospore of a specific microorganism
What is the Dorner endospore stain?
you
Does klebsiella produce red pigment?
No, members of the Serratia group produce red pigment.
Does the salmonella bacteria produce an endospore if so under what conditions?
no
Does klebsiella pneumoniae produce hemolysis?
Type your answer here... it's non-hemolytic

Is Klebsiella pneumonia motile?
No, Klebsiella pneumoniae is non-motile. No, Klebsiella pneumoniae is non-motile.

Yes. Incubation in TSI slanted agar tests positive for both characteristics.
What antibiotic best kills Klebsiella in UTIs?
chloramphenicolnitrofurantoinamikacinofloxacingentamicinnalidixic acidThese are the sensitive medicines for klebsiella :)
When conditions become unfavorable some bacteria produce a small internal resting cell called a capsule true or false?
false endospore
Can men catch klebsiella?
Klebsiella is a gram negative bacteria and like any other bacteria does not discriminate between the sex's. So yes men can "catch" Klebsiella.
When a cell produce an endospores has that cell reproduced explain?
Endospore formation has not been considered as a mode of reproduction. During adverse conditions, vegetative cells form endospore, which on the availability of favourable conditions will absorb water and germinate to form the vegetative cells again. Endosopres are thick walled structures. Under unfavourable conditions the endospore are non porous and resistant to high salt and acidic conditions which the normal vegetative cells are sensitive to. Often the vegetative cell loses the major part of its cytoplasm to form an endospore. Thus the endospore consists of only the genetic material surrounded by minimum quantity of cytoplasm.
Type of spore that can remain dormant until favorable conditions for growth arise?
