Chirality (chemistry) Chirality /kaÉªËrÃ¦lÉªti/ is a geometric property of some molecules and ions. A chiral molecule/ion is non-superposable on its mirror image. The presence of an asymmetric carbon center is one of several structural features that induce chirality in organic and inorganic molecules.
Increasingly, Klebsiella bacteria have developed antimicrobial resistance, most recently to the class of antibiotics known as carbapenems. Klebsiella bacteria are normally found in the human intestines (where they do not cause disease). They are also found in human stool (feces). In healthcare settings, Klebsiella infections commonly occur among sick patients who are receiving treatment for other conditions.
In fact,it is likely that we have K. pneumoniae in our intestine from eating raw foodssuch as salads. Two research papers on surveys of bacteria in sprouts found K.pneumoniae to be a predominant part of the microflora3. One research paper found 4% of the lettuce they tested containedKlebsiella pneumoniae4.e all have millions of bacteria in ourgastrointestinal tracts, primarily in the colon (or large bowel).These bacteria are important for normal bowel health and function.
