Figure 1 One of the most frequently isolated pathogens in gram-negative pneumonia, klebsiella can also cause urinary tract infections, intraabdominal infections, and respiratory tract infections. The organism has gained some renown in recent years as the original source of plasmids carrying extended-spectrum β-lactamase genes (scanning electron micrograph, ×16,000).
