Classification
Bacteria; Pseudomonadota; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Klebsiella/Raoultella group; Klebsiella [1]
Species
Klebsiella planticola
Description and Significance
Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important.
Genome Structure
Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence?
Most strains of Klebsiella planticola have one circular chromosome and four plasmids. A large number of K. planticola isolates found can have up to four antimicrobial resistant genes, which causes concern for antibiotic treatment for those infected with the bacterium. Strains have a median mega base pair count of 5.85103, 5,371 proteins, and a 55.5% GC content.
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
