Overview
Klebsiella granulomatis is a fastidious gram-negative pleomorphic bacteria causing donovanosis, a gential ulcer disease
Organism
- Aragão and Vianna classified the bacteria causing donovanosis as Calymmatobacterium granulomatis in 1913. However, DNA sequencing of 16S rRNA and phoE genes revealed similarity to Klebsiella.[1]
- There is 99% homology between the etiologic agent of donovanosis and members of Klebsiella[2]
- A proposal has been put forth to reclassify the bacteria to Klebsiella granulomatis.
- K. granulomatis morphology:[3]
- Pleomorphic ranging from coccus to bacillus
- 1-2 X 0.5-0.7 μm
- May or may not be capsulated
- Non-motile
Human Pathogen
