After a short summary of the occurrence, sources, phenotypic characteristics, epidemiologic markers, virulence factors and pathogenicity of the 7 species of Klebsiella, the author reported (1) an infection due to K. pneumoniae K5 in a breed of squirrel monkey. These animals were suffering from sub-cutaneous abcesses (Pasteur Institute of Cayenne, French Guyana). (2) The second example refers a fatal infection due to K. pneumoniae K2 in a colony of lemurs, at Mulhouse zoological garden (East of France). Both animal colonies were protected against infection by the use of specific anti-K. pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide vaccine.
在简要总结了7种克雷伯菌的发生、来源、表型特征、流行病学标志物、毒力因子和致病性之后，作者报告了：(1) 一种松鼠猴品种感染了肺炎克雷伯菌K5。这些动物患有皮下脓肿（法属圭亚那卡宴巴斯德研究所）。(2) 第二个例子是法国东部米卢斯动物园一群狐猴中发生的由肺炎克雷伯菌K2引起的致命感染。两个动物群体都通过使用特定的抗肺炎克雷伯菌荚膜多糖疫苗来预防感染。
