Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae

Fig 69:8. Colonies of Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. pneumoniae, strain CCUG 225^T, cultivated aerobically on a SELMA Plus plate. The SELMA Plus plate contains bovine blood agar with aesculine (Sector 1), Mac Conkey agar Sector 2), PGUA agar for differentiation of E. coli and Klebsiella spp. (Sector 3) and mannitol salt agar (Sector 4). Klebsiella spp. does grow in all sectors except on mannitol salt agar and note that no colour change has occured in the PGUA agar, which it would have done if E. coli is growing on this medium. The SELMA PLUS plates were photographed against a dark background and with lighting from above (A) and against a light background and lighting from below (B). The length of the scale bar is equivalent to 1 cm.Date: 2017-06-07.
