	KLEBSIELLA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		pneumoniae infections are common in hospitals where they cause pneumonia (characterized by emission of bloody sputum) and urinary tract infections in catheterized patients.
		Klebsiella infections are encountered far more often now than in the past.
		Klebsiella species may contain resistance plasmids (R-plasmids) which confer resistance to such antibiotics as ampicillin and carbenicillin.

		Klebsiella is the genus name for one of these bacteria found in the respiratory, intestinal, and urinogenital tracts of animals and man. When Klebsiella bacteria get outside of the gut, however, serious infection can occur.
		Klebsiella pneumoniae is known as a resident of the intestinal track in about 40% of man and animals.

	Klebsiella pneumoniae* (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Klebsiellae are distinguished by the presence of a capsular polysaccharide, of which there are 77 antigenic types.
		Although Klebsiella pneumoniae can cause a severe pneumonia, it is most commonly the cause of hospital-acquired urinary tract infections or burn wound infections.
		The virulence of Klebsiella is not well understood, but its antiphagocytic capsule plays a role in the lung infections by preventing phagocytosis.

	Klebsiella pneumoniae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, encapsulated, lactose-fermenting, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium found in the normal flora of the mouth, skin, and intestines.
		pneumoniae can cause bacterial pneumonia, typically due to aspiration of vomit by alcoholics, though it is more commonly implicated in hospital-acquired urinary tract and wound infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.
		pneumoniae is an increasingly a nosocomial infection as antibiotic resistant strains continue to appear.

		Klebsiellae may be regarded as normal flora in many parts of the colon and intestinal tract and in the biliary tract.
		Klebsiella pneumonia characteristically affects one of the upper lobes of the lung, although infection of the lower lobes is not uncommon.
		Klebsiellae are lactose-fermenting, urease-positive, and indole-negative organisms, although K oxytoca and some strains of K pneumoniae are exceptions.

		pneumoniae strains isolated from four of the patients with bloody chronic diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis had cytotoxic effects on Vero and Y1 cells, as characterized by the rounding of cells after 24 h, followed by their detachment from the culture plate and death after 72 h.
		pneumoniae strains isolated from one patient with watery chronic diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis (5 strains) and from four patients with mild chronic diarrhea (20 strains) carried sequences related to virulence genes from pathogenic enteroaggregative E.
		pneumoniae strains isolated from the two participants with watery chronic diarrhea induced the accumulation of fluid in ligated rabbit ileal loops, and the HEp-2–adherent strains isolated from three of the participants with mild chronic diarrhea carried the astA gene, which is associated with pathogenic EAEC.

		Chelation of extracellular Ca^sup 2+^ with [ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrile)] tetraacetic acid and suspension of cells in Ca^sup 2+^ free buffer suggested that the rise of Ca^sup 2+^ in aggregative K. pneumoniae infected HeLa cells was due to influx of Ca^sup 2+^ from extracellular medium.
		We isolated aggregative Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in children suffering from acute diarrhoea1 and studied the role of calcium in the pathogenesis of K. pneumoniae.
