Raoultella electrica | |
The genus Raoultella is composed of Gram-negative, oxidase-negative, aerobic, nonmotile, capsulated, facultatively anaerobic rods (formerly designated Klebsiella) in the family Enterobacteriaceae. It is named after the French bacteriologist Didier Raoult.[1]
Members of genus Raoultella grow at 10 °C consistent with their recovery from plants, soil, and water, whereas members of Klebsiella (Klebsiella oxytoca is an exception, and a proposal to classify K. oxytoca in a separate, unnamed genus has been made)[2] do not grow at 10 °C and are mainly recovered from mammals' mucosae. [citation needed]
It consists of species Raoultella electrica, Raoultella ornithinolytica, Raoultella planticola and Raoultella terrigena.[3]
A phylogenetic tree of Klebsiella, based on a 2.93-Mbp alignment, unambiguously places R. ornithinolytica sister to K. oxytoca within the larger Klebsiella phylogeny and suggests abandoning the genus Raoultella designation.[4]
Type species for this genus are:
- Raoultella electrica 1GBT[5]
- Raoultella ornithinolytica ATCC 31898T[1]
- Raoultella planticola ATCC 33531T[1]
- Raoultella terrigena ATCC 33257T[1]
