Klebsiella pneumoniae. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative, non-motile, encapsulated, lactose - fermenting, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It appears as a mucoid lactose fermenter on MacConkey agar. Although found in the normal flora of the mouth, skin, and intestines, [1] it can cause destructive changes to human and animal ...
Elizabethkingia meningoseptica (King 1959) Kim et al. 2005. Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium widely distributed in nature (e.g. fresh water, salt water, or soil). It may be normally present in fish and frogs; it may be isolated from chronic infectious states, as in the sputum of cystic fibrosis patients.
Klebsiella aerogenes, [2] previously known as Enterobacter aerogenes, is a Gram-negative, oxidase -negative, catalase -positive, citrate -positive, indole -negative, rod-shaped bacterium. [3] Capable of motility via peritrichous flagella, [4] it is approximately one to three microns in length. Klebsiella aerogenes is a nosocomial, pathogenic ...
In biology, an identification key, taxonomic key, or frequently just key, is a printed or computer-aided device that aids in the identification of biological organisms. Historically, the most common type of identification key is the dichotomous key, a type of single-access key which offers a fixed sequence of identification steps, each with two ...
Pathogenic Escherichia coli. Pathogenic. Escherichia coli. Escherichia coli (/ ˌɛʃəˈrɪkiə ˈkoʊlaɪ / ESH-ə-RIK-ee-ə KOH-ly; commonly abbreviated E. coli) is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms (endotherms).
Klebsiella oxytoca is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is closely related to K. pneumoniae, from which it is distinguished by being indole-positive; it also has slightly different growth characteristics in that it is able to grow on melezitose, but not 3-hydroxybutyrate. It was first described in 1886 when it was isolated from sour ...
Etest is a quantitative technique for determining the antibiotic sensitivity and minimum inhibitory concentration (in μg/mL) of some bacteria including Gram-negative and Gram-positive aerobic bacteria such as Enterobacteriaceae, [2] Pseudomonas, [2] [3] [4] Burkholderia, [2] [5] Staphylococcus, [6] and Enterococcus [7] species and fastidious bacteria, such as anaerobes, N. gonorrhoeae, S ...
Staphylococcus aureus. Colorized scanning electron micrograph of a human neutrophil ingesting MRSA. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a group of gram-positive bacteria that are genetically distinct from other strains of Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA is responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans.
