Klebsiella pneumoniae is a highly contagious bacteria that can infect any body organ or tissue, although (as you might guess from the name) it is generally associate with lung infections.Methods of inoculation include urinary catheter placement, poor personal hygiene and anatomic or genetic predisposition to bladder infections in general.
Yes, almost Enterobacteriae are positive for nitrate reduction.
Klebsiella pneumoniae can be fatal, especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly or those with weakened immune systems. It can cause severe infections like pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and urinary tract infections that may lead to serious complications or even death if not properly treated. Prompt and appropriate medical intervention is crucial in managing Klebsiella pneumoniae infections.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is typically citrate negative, meaning it does not utilize citrate as a carbon source in the citrate utilization test. This bacterium lacks the enzyme citrate permease needed for citrate utilization.
Adonitol fermentation test results for Klebsiella pneumoniae would typically show a positive result, meaning the organism is able to ferment adonitol and produce acid. This can be observed by a color change in the growth medium from red to yellow.
No, Klebsiella pneumoniae is non-motile. No, Klebsiella pneumoniae is non-motile.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a prokaryotic bacterium, as it lacks a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells.
gram positive
No, but Pseudomonas aeruginosa is.

Type your answer here... it's non-hemolytic
Yes, almost Enterobacteriae are positive for nitrate reduction.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a type of bacteria commonly found in the human mouth. It is normally harmless but can cause illness if it gets into the lungs. Illnesses related to this bacteria are usually found in those with a weak immune system.
