KLEBSIELLA PNUEMONIAE -AN EMERGING NOSOCOMIAL INFECTION

DENTISTRY

Klebsiella species are routinely found in the human nose, mouth, and gastrointestinal tract as normal flora; however, they can also behave as opportunistic human pathogens.Klebsiella species are known to also infect a variety of other animals, both as normal flora and opportunistic pathogens. Klebsiella species are found everywhere in nature. This is thought to be due to distinct sublineages developing specific niche adaptations, with associated biochemical adaptations which make them better suited to a particular environment. They can be found in water, soil, plants, insects and other animals including humans. This article reviews on the emerging role on the infections
