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.
We all have millions of bacteria in ourgastrointestinal tracts, primarily in the colon (or large bowel).These bacteria are important for normal bowel health and function. Klebsiella isthe genus name for one of these bacteria found in the respiratory, intestinal,and urinogenital tracts of animals and man. When Klebsiella bacteria get outside of the gut, however, seriousinfection can occur. K. pneumoniae is second only to E. colias a urinary tract pathogen.
