In addition to capsular antigen typing and biotyping (sorbose, d-tartrate, dulcitol), the epidemiology of Klebsiella oxytoca can be improved by new biochemical characterization. The authors propose to determine tetrathionate-reductase activity, D-melezitose fermentation and brown pigment production onto a mineral gluconate-ferric citrate medium. In order to assess the value of these new markers, several hospital epidemiological surveys were performed in France and Spain (112 strains studied).

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.
D010088 Oxidoreductases The class of all enzymes catalyzing oxidoreduction reactions. The substrate that is oxidized is regarded as a hydrogen donor. The systematic name is based on donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. The recommended name will be dehydrogenase, wherever this is possible; as an alternative, reductase can be used. Oxidase is only used in cases where O2 is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p9) Dehydrogenases,Oxidases,Oxidoreductase,Reductases,Dehydrogenase,Oxidase,Reductase
