  • Description of Klebsiella africanensis sp. nov., Klebsiella variicola subsp. tropicalensis subsp. nov. and Klebsiella variicola subsp. variicola subsp. nov.
    Research in microbiology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Carla Rodrigues, Virginie Passet, Andriniaina Rakotondrasoa, Thierno Abdoulaye Diallo, Alexis Criscuolo, Sylvain Brisse
    Abstract:

    The bacterial pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae comprises several phylogenetic groups (Kp1 to Kp7), two of which (Kp5 and Kp7) have no taxonomic status. Here we show that group Kp5 is closely related to Klebsiella variicola (Kp3), with an average nucleotide identity (ANI) of 96.4%, and that group Kp7 has an ANI of 94.7% with Kp1 (K. pneumoniae sensu stricto). Biochemical characteristics and chromosomal beta-lactamase genes also distinguish groups Kp5 and Kp7 from other Klebsiella taxa. We propose the names Klebsiella africanensis for Kp7 (type strain, 200023T = CIP 111653T) and K. variicola subsp. tropicalensis for Kp5 (type strain, 1266T = CIP 111654T).

  • Description of Klebsiella grimontii sp. nov.
    International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology, 2017
    Co-Authors: Virginie Passet, Sylvain Brisse
    Abstract:

    Strains previously identified as Klebsiella oxytocaphylogroup Ko6 were characterized by rpoB, gyrA and rrs gene sequencing, genome-sequence based average nucleotide identity analysis and their biochemical characteristics. rpoB and gyrA sequencing demonstrated that the Ko6 strains formed a well-demarcated sequence cluster related to, but distinct from, Klebsiella oxytoca (which includes strains previously labelled as K. oxytocaphylogroup Ko2) and Klebsiella michiganensis (Ko1). The average nucleotide identity values of Ko6 with K. oxytoca and K. michiganensis were 91.2 and 93.47 %, respectively. The inability to metabolize melezitose differentiated most of the Ko6 strains from K. oxytoca and K. michiganensis. Based on its genetic and phenotypic characteristics, we propose the name Klebsiella grimontii for the Ko6 sequence cluster, with strain 06D021T (=CIP111401T, DSM 105630T) as the type strain. Strains of Klebsiella grimontii were isolated from human blood cultures, wound infections, antibiotic-associated haemorrhagic colitis and faecal carriage.

  • identification and antimicrobial susceptibility of 100 Klebsiella animal clinical isolates
    Veterinary Microbiology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Sylvain Brisse, Engeline Van Duijkeren
    Abstract:

    The objectives of this study were to determine the distribution of Klebsiella species and phylogenetic groups in animal clinical samples and to determine the levels of antimicrobial resistance of animal Klebsiella clinical isolates. One hundred Klebsiella veterinary clinical isolates were identified using gyrA PCR-RFLP and rpoB gene sequencing as a confirmatory method. Klebsiella pneumoniae phylogenetic group KpI was dominant (78 isolates), but KpII, KpIII (K. variicola), K. oxytoca, K. planticola and K. terrigena were also represented. The relative frequencies in animal infections of Klebsiella species and phylogenetic groups were similar to those observed in human nosocomial infections, suggesting that similar ecological and molecular factors cause Klebsiella infections in both situations. Resistance was common against ampicillin (99%) and cephalexin (43%) but not against ceftazidime, ceftiofur, tetracycline, enrofloxacin, gentamicin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Thirteen isolates resistant to three or more antimicrobials or combinations thereof were found, but acquired antimicrobial resistance remains lower among animal isolates than among human nosocomial isolates.

  • Klebsiella huaxiensis sp. nov., recovered from human urine
    International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology, 2018
    Co-Authors: Li Wei, Yu Feng, Yi Xie, Zhiyong Zong
    Abstract:

    A strain of a member of the genus Klebsiella , WCHKl090001, was recovered from a human urine sample in PR China in 2017. Phylogenetic analysis based on gyrA and rpoB housekeeping genes revealed that the strain was distinct from any previously described species of the genus Klebsiella though it was clustered with the Klebsiella oxytoca phylogroup, including Klebsiella grimontii, Klebsiella michiganensis and Klebsiella oxytoca. The whole-genome sequence of strain WCHKl090001 has an up to 87.18 % average nucleotide identity with those of type strains of all known species of the genus Klebsiella . In silico DNA–DNA hybridization (isDDH) values between strain WCHKl090001 and type strains of all known species of the genus Klebsiella ranged from 22.3 to 35.2 %. Strain WCHKl090001 could be distinguished from species of the Klebsiella oxytoca phylogroup by its negative Voges–Proskauer reaction. Genotypic and phenotypic characteristics from this study indicate that strain WCHKl090001 should be considered to represent a novel species of the genus Klebsiella , for which the name Klebsiella huaxiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WCHKl090001T (=GDMCC 1.1379T=CNCTC 7650T).
