A total of 481 K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca strains from different sources was examined with respect to sensitivity to normal human serum. K. oxytoca strains much more frequently proved to be serum resistant than K. pneumoniae isolates. Environmental strains of both species showed greater serum sensitivity than fecal or clinical isolates. While K. oxytoca strains isolated from feces and clinical specimens showed similar frequencies of serum resistant isolates, fecal K. pneumoniae strains less often were serum resistant than clinical K. pneumoniae isolates. Clinical Klebsiella strains appear to be more related to strains isolated from feces than to those isolated from the environment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007709 Klebsiella A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria whose organisms arrange singly, in pairs, or short chains. This genus is commonly found in the intestinal tract and is an opportunistic pathogen that can give rise to bacteremia, pneumonia, urinary tract and several other types of human infection.
D007710 Klebsiella Infections Infections with bacteria of the genus KLEBSIELLA. Infections, Klebsiella,Infection, Klebsiella,Klebsiella Infection
D007711 Klebsiella pneumoniae Gram-negative, non-motile, capsulated, gas-producing rods found widely in nature and associated with urinary and respiratory infections in humans. Bacillus pneumoniae,Bacterium pneumoniae crouposae,Hyalococcus pneumoniae,Klebsiella pneumoniae aerogenes,Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis
D001770 Blood Bactericidal Activity The natural bactericidal property of BLOOD due to normally occurring antibacterial substances such as beta lysin, leukin, etc. This activity needs to be distinguished from the bactericidal activity contained in a patient's serum as a result of antimicrobial therapy, which is measured by a SERUM BACTERICIDAL TEST.
