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 an endospore release toxins?

Endospores themselves do not release toxins. Endospores are dormant, resistant structures produced by some bacteria to survive harsh conditions. However, when the endospore germinates and the vegetative cell grows and replicates, it can produce toxins.


Does klebsiella ferment lactose and or produce gas?
