Numerical classification of the tribe Klebsielleae.

摘要: SUMMARY: A numerical classification study was carried out on 177 strains of Klebsiella and related groups. Three methods were used: median sorting, single linkage cluster analysis minimum spanning tree. All three contributed to the final decision taxa, but yielded substantially same results. Of three, if used alone, would have provided most information. The validity genus confirmed inclusion recognized species Enterobacter in one not confirmed. divided into six which is proposed as K. mobilis synon. aerogenes. E. cloacae occupied a rank similar that Klebsiella, while liquefaciens closely Serratia it include S. liquefaciens. ‘pigmentes’ found be Chromobacterium typhiflavum.
