I currently have this, and I would have to say its not a good thing to have. I got it in my urinary tract and have developed horrible pains in my buttocks, legs, and feet, ankles. I am on Cipro 500mg. My Doctor isn't taking it too serious. He acts as if I have yeast infection. This is much more dangerous. I read there is a 50% mortality rate after taking antibiotics.
Yes, Klebsiella pneumoniae is usually positive for nitrate testing. It typically reduces nitrate to nitrite which can be detected using a reagent.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is not typically considered highly contagious, but it can be spread through contact with contaminated surfaces or medical equipment. Good hygiene practices, such as handwashing and proper cleaning of medical facilities, can help prevent its transmission.
Klebsiella pneumoniae can be fatal, especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly or those with weakened immune systems. It can cause severe infections like pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and urinary tract infections that may lead to serious complications or even death if not properly treated. Prompt and appropriate medical intervention is crucial in managing Klebsiella pneumoniae infections.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is typically citrate negative, meaning it does not utilize citrate as a carbon source in the citrate utilization test. This bacterium lacks the enzyme citrate permease needed for citrate utilization.
Klebsiella pneumoniae can cause infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, bloodstream infections, and wound infections. It can be particularly dangerous in healthcare settings due to its ability to develop antibiotic resistance.
No, Klebsiella pneumoniae is non-motile. No, Klebsiella pneumoniae is non-motile.

Klebsiella pneumonia is a type of bacterial pneumonia caused by infection with the Klebsiella pneumoniae bacterium, a gram-negative bacteria which is typically carried in fecal material and ingested through accidental aspiration or exposure to contaminated medical instruments. This bacterial infection is usually opportunistic, meaning that it appears in patients who are already battling an existing medical problem or infection, and it can be very dangerous for some patients.

Yes, Klebsiella pneumoniae is usually positive for nitrate testing. It typically reduces nitrate to nitrite which can be detected using a reagent.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a type of bacteria commonly found in the human mouth. It is normally harmless but can cause illness if it gets into the lungs. Illnesses related to this bacteria are usually found in those with a weak immune system.
