The Klebsiella species form a heterogeneous group of gram negative, lactose fermenting, encapsulated, non-motile bacilli. They are important urinary tract pathogens, especially in long stay hospital patients and infection is often associated with urethral catheterisation. The laboratory characterisation of these organisms by biochemical means is time consuming and not entirely satisfactory. Antibiotic sensitivity tests indicate that gentamicin is the drug of choice for treatment of a urinary tract infection due to klebsiella.
克雷伯菌属是一组革兰氏阴性、乳糖发酵、有荚膜、无动力的杆菌，具有异质性。它们是重要的泌尿道病原体，尤其在长期住院患者中，感染常与尿道插管有关。通过生化方法对这些微生物进行实验室鉴定既耗时又不尽人意。抗生素敏感性试验表明，庆大霉素是治疗由克雷伯菌引起的泌尿道感染的首选药物。
