Overview

  • Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. rhinoscleromatis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. rhinoscleromatis is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Grimont2005aBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from nasopharynx and clinical sources (rhinoscleromatis). The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 2, i.e., risk of individual infection, but low risk of spread. Is a known human pathogen. A possible gut commensal.
