KNon-motile rod-shaped enterobacteria digesting lactose, often associated with illness. Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, and Klebsiella granulomatis are examples of infections often acquired in hospitals. Klebsiella typically reside inside the guts of mammals. Klebsiella planticola inhabits the root systems of most terrestrial plants. It is as near to a universal plant bacterium as there has ever been, partly responsible for the decomposition of all plant matter. Modified K. planticola could be used to turn dead plant material into alcohol
