THE DECAPSULATION PHENOMENON OF KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE

Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Nitrogenase of Klebsiella pneumoniae

1. Nitrogenase from the facultative anaerobe Klebsiellapneumoniae was resolved into two protein components resembling those obtained from other nitrogen-fixing bacteria. 2. Both proteins were purified to homogeneity as shown by the criteria of disc electrophoresis and ultracentrifugal analysis. 3. The larger component had a mol.wt. of 218000 and contained one Mo atom, 17Fe atoms and 17 acid-lab...

Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess

Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess is no longer fatal but causes catastrophic disabilities. To prevent severe complications, early diagnosis is essential. Gram stain and string test are important for early diagnosis.

Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase, Canada

ing responsible for nosocomial infection. Items used during the patient’s ocular surgery were confi rmed to be disposable and nonreused. Topical drops of corticosteroids commonly applied during cataract surgery for intraocular lens implantation penetrate ocular structures. An alternative hypothesis is that corticosteroids applied during ocular surgery reactivate a latent ocular infection. Our r...

Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae

The continuing emergence of infections due to multidrug resistant bacteria is a serious public health problem. Klebsiella pneumoniae, which commonly acquires resistance encoded on mobile genetic elements, including ones that encode carbapenemases, is a prime example. K. pneumoniae carrying such genetic material, including both blaKPC and genes encoding metallo-β-lactamases, have spread globally...
