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.
Klebsiella is a 'superbug' that causes a range of diseases, depending on which part of the body it infects. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterium that normally lives inside human intestines, where it doesn't cause disease. However, if K. pneumoniae gets into other areas of the body, it can cause a range of different illnesses. These include: 1  Pneumonia.  Bloodstream infections.
