Septicemia caused by Klebsiella oxytoca.
Klebsiella oxytoca was isolated from the blood of a leukemic patient. The typical pathogenicity of Klebsiella oxytoca was observed in the patient. The pathogenicity of several Klebsiella oxytoca strains isolated from blood, urine and sputum of different patients was examined in mice, and it was found that Klebsiella oxytoca isolated from the blood had a higher toxicity than the others.
