Description and significance
K. pneumoniae is a gram negative and aerobic bacteria. It is rod shaped and its dimensions are 2 X 0.5 micro meter. K. pneumoniae is also known as nasty bacteria. Klebsiella (pneumoniae) is commonly found in bacteria directed pneumoniae patients. Friedlancer C. Uber was the first person to discover that Klebsiella is a pathogenic bacteria that causes pneumoniae (2). The 160nm thick fine fiber capsule makes the bacteria pathogenic (3)[2].
