Abstract excerpt
Genotypic relatedness was assessed to clarify the taxonomic position of strains phenotypically behaving like K. pneumoniae, but for the ornithine reaction. Using DNA-DNA hybridization it could be shown that 25 non-motile ornithine decarboxylating strains showed high genotypic relatedness to the type strain of K. pneumoniae. Thus, it is proposed that they be considered as ornithine decarboxylating strains of the...
