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.
Colonies of Klebsiella oxytoca on a MacConkey agar (10) . Klebsiella oxytoca is a gram-negative bacterium with a cylindrical rod shape measuring 2 Âµm by 5Âµm (8) . In the 1950âs the strain M5aI was isolated with a notable characteristic of lacking a polysaccharide capsule.lebsiella oxytoca was determined to be the cause of spontaneous arthritis in the knee of a 30-month old child with no prior history of any bacterial infections (6) .
