Abstract :
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram negative, rod shaped and non-motile
bacterium of the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is encapsulated, facultative
anaerobic bacteria. Bacterial morphology can be altered by various factors,
including antibiotics. Unusually shaped, large, swollen organisms were
observed in the liver abscess obtained from a patient with Fulminant
emphysematous hepatitis with polymicrobial infection in blood. The
organism was identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae by the Vitek 2 compact
system.
