Abstract

Klebsiella oxytoca is actually a complex of nine species— Klebsiella grimontii , Klebsiella huaxiensis , Klebsiella michiganensis , K. oxytoca , Klebsiella pasteurii , Klebsiella spallanzanii , and three unnamed novel species. Phenotypic tests can assign isolates to the complex, but precise species identification requires genome-based analysis.
