The molecular relationship of 39 biochemically identified
strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae was determined by DNA-DNA
hybridization experiments. Cultures examined were isolated
from vegetables, pulp mills, drinking water and clinical
(human and animal) habitats. These organisms produced reassociation
values of 7% to 100% with ATCC 13882 K. pneumoniae
as the labeled...
Bacteria of the genus Klebsiella have been found to be
associated with redwood water storage reservoirs, redwood
chips, and liquid expressed from within living redwood. A
1,000 gallon experimental redwood reservoir was employed to
determine how to control the presence of Klebsiella and
Enterobacter in drinking water stored in these...
The ubiquitous presence of the coliform bacterium
Klebsiella in botanical environments has been demonstrated.
In this study, Klebsiella were found to multiply and
colonize growing radish plants following contamination of
seeds. All 29 cultures of Klebsiella tested from 5 different
environments were capable of growth to 10⁶-10⁷ cells/gram
of plant...
The objectives in this research were to assess whether Klebsiella planticola
SDF20 could survive in soil and result in ecological effects to soil foodweb
organisms and plant growth. Four experiments were conducted using soil
microcosms. Klebsiella planticola SDF20 has been genetically engineered to
produce ethanol from agricultural waste for use...
Scombroid poisoning, caused by histamine intoxication, is one of the most prevalent illnesses associated with seafood consumption in the United States. The illness is usually accompanied with a variety of symptoms, such as rash, nausea, diarrhea, flushing, sweating, and headache. Incidence of scombroid poisoning has been consistently reported in the...
