False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a colony of Klebsiella pneumoniae,a species of Gram-negative,rod-like bacterium that causes pneumonia in humans. Species of Klebsiella possess polysaccharide capsules by means of which they may be divided into various types - types 1-3 contain the more pathogenic organisms and type 3 includes K. pneumoniae. Other species are widely distributed in nature,commonly exist in the human intestine,and are occasionally responsible for urinary tract,wound or other infections.
