The aim of this study was to estimated hydrophobic and hemnagglutinating properties of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca rods. The hydrophobcity was evaluated according to the method of Rosenberg et al. The hemagglutinating properties were estimated by method of Blanco et al. Forty seven hydrophobic Klebsiella strains (30 K. pneumoniae strains and 17 K. oxytoca strains) were detected. Hemagglutinating properties were observed in 65 Klebsiella strains (45 K. pneumoniae strains and 20 K. oxytoca strains). Hemagglutination of sheep tannined erythrocytes the most frequently was observed. Inhibition of hemagglutination of erythrocytes by K. pneumoniae strains was most frequently observed in presence of D-glucose and D-mannose and by K. oxytoca strains in presence of D-glucose.  相似文献

Hydrolytic enzymes and haemolysins are important extracellular substances produced by many bacteria. We investigated 57 K. pneumoniae strains and 40 K. oxytoca strains isolated from clinical materials. We estimated the ability to produce: proteases hydrolyzing milk powder, caseinase, gelatinase, elastase, lecithinase, lipases, DNase and haemolysins on human, sheep and horse erythrocytes on TSA medium with or without 5% Egg Yolk. We detected that K. oxytoca strains produced proteases hydrolyzing milk powder (37.5%), caseinase (15.0%) and gelatinase (17.5%) more frequently than K. pneumoniae strains (respectively 21.0%, 5.3%, 8.9%). None of the analysed Klebsiella spp. strains produced elastase. Only K. pneumoniae strains produced lecithinase (5.3%). Lipases hydrolyzing Tween were produced from 3.5% (for Tween 60 and 80) to 7.0% (for Tween 20). Among K. oxytoca strains only one (2.5%) hydrolyzing Tween 20. DNase was produced by 38.6% of K. pneumoniae strains and by 27.5% K. oxytoca strains. Haemolytic properties on human erythrocytes were detected in 5.3% K. pneumoniae strains on TSA medium and 29,8% on medium with Egg Yolk. In K. oxytoca strains haemolytic properties on human erythrocytes were detected only on medium with Egg Yolk (12.5%). Haemolytic properties on sheep erythrocytes were detected respectively in 21.0% and 22.8% K. pneumoniae strains and in 7.5% K. oxytoca strains on each medium. Haemolytic properties on horse erythrocytes were detected respectively in 33.4% and 52.6% K. pneumoniae strains and in 15.0% and 20.0% K. oxytoca strains.  相似文献

We demonstrated that Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca possess a selective haemolytic activity on rabbit erythrocytes. Thirty one Klebsiella strains (18 strains of K. pneumoniae and 13 strains of K. oxytoca) were isolated from hospitalized patients. The liquid (Trypcase-soy broth--TSB) and solid (Trypcase-soy agar--TSA) medium, containing the red cells were used for the tests. All the screened strains showed a haemolytic effect on rabbit erythrocytes, provided that the supernatants of the cultures were preincubated with beta-mercaptoethanol or calcium chloride. There was no human and sheep erythrocyte lysis.  相似文献

Altogether 130 clinical isolates of five Klebsiella species (K. pneumoniae, K. planticola, K. oxytoca, K. ornithinolytica and K. terrigena) were characterized, for their susceptibility to five antibiotics, for susceptibility to serum bactericidal activity and for their hydrophobic properties. All strains exhibited ampicillin resistance. Ampicillin/sulbactam, gentamicin and ofloxacin showed effectiveness in 63.1, 67.7 and 71.5% of the Klebsiella isolates. K. planticola manifested the highest level of resistance to these antibiotics. The majority of Klebsiella strains (93.9%) were susceptible to cefuroxime. Sixty-four strains (49.2%) were serum resistant and intermediate serum sensitivity was shown by 57 strains (43.8%). A high percentage of serum resistant strains (65%) was found in K. planticola. Moderately hydrophobic properties determined by adherence of bacteria to xylene were demonstrated in 25 strains (19.2%).  相似文献

Histamine fish poisoning is caused by histamine-producing bacteria (HPB). Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca are the best-known HPB in fish. However, 22 strains of HPB from fish first identified as K. pneumoniae or K. oxytoca by commercialized systems were later correctly identified as Raoultella planticola (formerly Klebsiella planticola) by additional tests. Similarly, five strains of Raoultella ornithinolytica (formerly Klebsiella ornithinolytica) were isolated from fish as new HPB. R. planticola and R. ornithinolytica strains were equal in their histamine-producing capabilities and were determined to possess the hdc genes, encoding histidine decarboxylase. On the other hand, a collection of 61 strains of K. pneumoniae and 18 strains of K. oxytoca produced no histamine.  相似文献

Fifty two clinical isolates of K. oxytoca were included. All of analysed strains were isolated from wound swabs. The aim of this study was to evaluate MIC value of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid, tigecycline and ciprofloxacin. The susceptibility to amoxicillin with clavulanic acid and tigecycline was tested by the Etest. The susceptibility to ciprofloxacine was tested by the agar dilution method. Among of analysed K. oxytoca strains 44 (84.6%) were susceptible to tigecycline, 27 (51.9%) to amoxicilline with clavulanic acid and 21 (40.4%) to ciprofloxacine. These data suggest that tigecycline, may be an effective therapeutic option for the treatment infections caused by K. oxytoca strains.  相似文献

In the 77 reference strains for Klebsiella K types, there are 17 strains (22.1%) of Klebsiella planticola, 6 strains (7.8%) of Klebsiella oxytoca, 1 strain (1.3%) of Klebsiella terrigena, and 53 strains (68.8%) of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The species K. planticola, which was originally isolated from botanical and aquatic environments and hence thus named, was also identified at high incidence (81 strains, 18.5%) among the 439 recent clinical isolates of Klebsiella species. Among these K. planticola strains of hospital origin, 52 (64%) were isolated from sputum, 17 (21%) from urine, and the remaining 12 (15%) from other sources. The capsular types of these isolates were determined by the gel precipitation reaction. Seventy of 81 K. planticola isolates (86.4%) were typable by antisera to Klebsiella reference strains for K types and the K types of the clinical isolates distributed to 35 kinds of K types. The proportion of typable strains among clinical isolates of K. planticola was very similar to those in K. pneumoniae (87.5%) and K. oxytoca (86.0%).  相似文献

To investigate the occurrence of different Klebsiella spp. in aquatic environments, a total of 208 samples of natural surface waters was examined. From half (53%) of these samples, 123 Klebsiella strains were isolated, the most common species being Klebsiella pneumoniae. A comparison of these isolates to a group of 207 clinical K. pneumoniae isolates demonstrated that water isolates of K. pneumoniae, unlike those of K. oxytoca and K. planticola, are as capable as clinical isolates of expressing putative virulence factors such as serum resistance and capsular polysaccharides, pili, and siderophores.  相似文献

Klebsiella is one of the genera that has shown unbeatable production performance of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD), when compared to other microorganisms. In this study, two Klebsiella strains, K. pneumoniae (DSM 2026) and K. oxytoca (ATCC 43863), were selected and evaluated for 2,3-BD production by batch and fed-batch fermentations using glucose as a carbon source. Those strains' morphologies, particularly their capsular structures, were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The maximum titers of 2,3-BD by K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca during 10 h batch fermentation were 17.6 and 10.9 g L(-1), respectively; in fed-batch cultivation, the strains showed the maximum titers of 50.9 and 34.1 g L(-1), respectively. Although K. pneumoniae showed higher productivity, SEM showed that it secreted large amounts of capsular polysaccharide, increasing pathogenicity and hindering the separation of cells from the fermentation broth during downstream processing.  相似文献

Sixty-one strains of Enterobacteriaceae were tested for purine assimilation, including twenty-five Klebsiella pneumoniae, seventeen K. oxytoca and nineteen others. Only K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca were able to use guanosine triphosphate, xanthine, hypoxanthine, or uric acid as sole sources of carbon and nitrogen. When guanosine triphosphate was used as sole source of nitrogen and carbon, the lag phase was prolonged. The addition of glucose did not affect the maximum number of viable cells for K. pneumoniae ATCC 29665, but produced an increase for strain K. oxytoca ATCC 13030. In the case of uric acid, ATCC 29665 had a more distinct lag phase of growth than ATCC 13030. Apart from this, they appeared to be very similar. On solid chemically defined GTP medium, some strains of Klebsiella were able to produce a water-soluble brown pigment.  相似文献

PCR analysis of 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer (PCR ribotyping) and tRNA intergenic spacer (tDNA-PCR) were evaluated for their effectiveness in identification of clinical strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and differentiation with related species. For this purpose both methods were applied to forty-three clinical isolates biochemically identified as K. pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae isolated from patients clinical specimens attended at five hospitals in three Brazilian cities. References strains of K. pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae, K. pneumoniae subsp. ozaenae, K. oxytoca, K. planticola and Enterobacter aerogenes were also analyzed. Both PCR methods showed specific patterns for each species. A conserved PCR ribotype pattern was observed for all clinical K. pneumoniae isolates, while differing from other related analyzed species. tDNA-PCR revealed five distinct patterns among the K. pneumoniae clinical isolates studied, demonstrating a predominant group with 90.6% of isolates presenting the same pattern of K. pneumoniae type strain. Both PCR-based methods were not able to differentiate K. pneumoniae subspecies. On the basis of the results obtained, both methods were efficient to differentiate the Klebsiella species analyzed, as well as E. aerogenes. Meanwhile tDNA-PCR revealed different tRNA arrangements in K. pneumoniae, suggesting intra-species heterogeneity of their genome organization, the polymorphism of the intergenic spacers between 16S and 23S rRNA genes appears to be highly conserved whithin K. pneumoniae clinical isolates, showing that PCR ribotyping can be an useful tool for identification of K. pneumoniae isolates.  相似文献

An epidemic of mass mortality of abalone (Haliotis diversicolor supertexta) postlarvae aged 40 days or less has existed across south coast of China since the second half of 2002. Among 20 bacterial strains isolated from diseased abalone postlarvae on 2216E marine agar plates during an outbreak of postlarval disease in August 2005, a predominant strain (designated strain 20) was demonstrated to be virulent to postlarvae with an LD(50) value of 1.0x10(5) colony forming units (CFUml(-1)) on day 4, while the other 19 strains were either avirulent (16 strains) or weakly virulent (3 strains). The same bacterium could be re-isolated from postlarvae after bacterial challenge using 2216E marine agar plates. Preliminary toxicity tests of ECPs of strain 20 revealed that at 2.77mgproteinml(-1), crude ECPs completely liquefied postlarvae within 24h, leaving only shells. API 20E analysis identified strain 20 as Klebsiella oxytoca. 16S and ITS rDNA sequencing and phylogenetic analyses further confirmed this identification. Antibiotic susceptibility tests showed that strain 20 exhibited 94% of susceptibility to 16 various antibiotics tested and only showed resistance to streptomycin. Results of this work demonstrated that K. oxytoca is also linked to this epidemic in Fujian, China. This is considered to be the first report regarding K. oxytoca involved in the mass mortality of postlarval abalone in south China and the world.  相似文献

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are the most prevalent infections worldwide both in males and females. K. pneumoniae is one of the major pathogens causing UTIs. Fluoroquinolones are effective drugs for treating infections caused by Klebsiella spp. The aim of this study was to evaluated the susceptibility to three fluoroquinolones of K. pneumoniae strains isolated from urine. The MICs of ciprofloxacin was determined by agar dilution method and the MICs of norfloxacin and gatifloxacin by E-test. Among analysed K. pneumoniae strains 86.7% was susceptible to gatifloxacine, 76.7% to norfloxacin and 51.2% to ciprofloxacine.  相似文献

The authors analyze the data of studies on the hemagglutinating and adhesive capacity of 290 cultures, including 118 K. pneumoniae strains and 64 E. cloacae strains isolated from sick children, as well as 59 K. pneumoniae strains and 49 E. cloacae strains isolated from healthy children. The hemagglutinating properties of the strains were determined in the hemagglutination test with fresh, formalin- and tannin-treated red blood cells, the adhesive properties were studied by light microscopy. Among K. pneumoniae and E. cloacae strains isolated in acute intestinal infections, mannose-sensitive hemagglutination and pronounced adhesive activity were prevalent in most cases. Poorly adhesive and nonadhesive strains were characteristic of K. pneumoniae and E. cloacae cultures isolated from healthy children. The strains isolated from sick and healthy children differed only by the prevalence of adhesive cultures.  相似文献

The taxonomic position of two species of the genus Klebsiella (K. atlantae and K. edwardsii) is being introduced. 211 strains of different origin were studied: 80 strains of K. pneumoniae, 46 strains of K. oxytoca, 50 strains of K. atlantae and 35 strains of K. edwardsii. Sixty biochemical characteristics were determined 40 of these pertaining to carbohydrate metabolism. It was discussed whether both are to be considered species or biotypes of another Klebsiella species, however, by determining citrate as carbon source, by MR test and by tests on malonate, gluconate, methyl-xyloside, 1 (--) sorbose, inulin, amylose, methyl-d-mannoside, glycogen, melezitose, VP test, amygdalin, d-tartrate and gas from glucose, we arrived at the conclusion that both could be considered species of the genus. These conclusions were confirmed by the determination of biotypes of both (according to C. Richard). Later, we expect to study their participation in human infective processes and their sensitivity by antibiotic therapy.  相似文献

The profiles of the utilization of 20 protein amino acids in 118 Klebsiella pneumoniae sub- sp. pneumoniae, K. oxytoca, K. planticola, K. mobilis, Enterobacter cloacae, Serratia marscescens, S. liquefaciens, Escherichia coli strains isolated from clinical material were studied. The utilization of amino acids was determined on minimal saline agar containing amino acid as the only source of nitrogen and carbon; the results were evaluated after 72-hour incubation at 37 degrees C. 17 profiles of amino-acid utilization were thus determined, most of them genus-specific in enterobacteria: Klebsiella (profiles No. 1--6, 9, 10), Enterobacter (No. 11--13), Serratia (No. 14--16), Escherichia (No. 17). The full coincidence of amino-acid utilization profiles in bacteria of K. mobilis (No. 1, 6) and K. pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae with out of such profiles in bacteria of the genera Enterobacter, Serratia, Escherichia was established, which confirmed that K. mobilis (formerly Enterobacter aerogenes) belonged to the genus Klebsiella.  相似文献

Antibiotic susceptibility of nosocomial Klebsiella isolates from inpatients of 30 medical centres in 15 various regions of Russia was studied. In total 212 strains were tested. The Klebsiella genus was represented by the following species: Klebsiella pmeumoniae ss. pneumoniae (182 isolates, 85.8%), Klebsiella pneumonia ss. ozaenae (1 isolate, 0.5%), Klebsiella oxytoca (29 isolates, 13.7%). The susceptibility was determined by the broth microdilution method. Carbapenems (imipenem and meropenem) remained to be the most active antibacterial agents. However, 1 imipenem resistant strain and 2 meropenem resistant strains were isolated. As for the 3rd generation cephalosporins, the lowest MICs were observed with the use of the inhibitor-protected agents, such as ceftazidime/clavulanic acid (MIC50 0.25 mcg/ml, MIC90 64 mcg/ml). 48.8%, 16.9%, 29.7% and only 10.5% of the isolates was susceptible to cefepime, cefotaxime, ceftazidime and cefoperazone respectively. Detecting of the beta-lactamase genes (TEM, SHV and CTX) was performed by PCR in 42 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae ss. pneumoniae. Alone or in various combination the TEM type beta-lactamases were detected in 16 (38.1%) isolates. SHV and CTX were detected in 29 (69%) and 27 (64.3%) isolates respectively. Combinations of 2 and 3 different determinants of resistance to beta-lactams were revealed in 23.8% and 26.2% of the isolates respectively. No isolates producing class B MBL among the carbapenem resistant nosocomial Klebsiella strains were detected.  相似文献

AIMS: In the enumeration of coliform bacteria, confirmation of Escherichia coli has been based upon gas and indole production at the elevated incubation temperature. The test for gas production has recently been questioned. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of gas production test on the reliability of confirmation of E. coli. METHODS AND RESULTS: The impact of several media on growth, gas and/or indole formation was tested at 44 and 44.5 degrees C using 547 environmental isolates. These were mainly E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, K. oxytoca and Enterobacter cloacae strains. Another set of 250 faecal and environmental klebsiellae were tested for their maximum temperature for growth (Tmax) and for gas formation. Escherichia coli and even K. pneumoniae grew well in all the media, but gas production was more dependent on the medium used. Growth of the mainly gas negative Ent. cloacae and K. oxytoca strains was still more sensitive to the medium and incubation conditions. Tryptophan salt broth was the most productive medium for the indole test, followed by lauryl tryptose mannitole and tryptone mannitol ricinoleate broth (TRM). Tmax of K. oxytoca was clearly lower than Tmax of K. pneumoniae but a rather high fraction of its isolates produced indole at 44.5 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS: False-positive E. coli confirmation is possible if gas production is not tested for and the confirmation is based on indole test only. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Erroneous positive results on routine analysis for E. coli can occur.  相似文献
