| Abstract | A culture medium was developed which selectively favored the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca in Escherichia coli-rich fecal cultures, without the use of antibiotics. The discriminative capacity of this medium was based on the presence of only two carbon sources, citrate and inositol, which can be utilized by nearly all K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca strains but not by E. coli. The medium consisted of Simmons citrate agar (SCA) with 1% inositol (SCAI). Klebsiella strains from fecal samples subcultured on SCAI grew unhampered as yellow, dome-shaped, often mucoid colonies, whereas E. coli appeared as tiny, watery colonies. Apart from some Enterobacter strains, no other types of bacteria were found to mimic the typical appearance of klebsiellae. Recovery experiments from stool samples revealed a limiting ratio of Klebsiella to E. coli of 1:10(6) or more when samples were plated on SCAI versus ratios of 1:10(2) to 1:10(3) on blood agar or Macconkey agar. Compared with an existing Klebsiella culture method, the combination of SCA and MacConkey-inositol-carbenicillin (MIC) agar, Klebsiella yields with SCAI were not lower than those with the combination of MIC and SCA. Furthermore, the efficiency of the SCAI method was twice that of the latter combination. The SCAI plate could be a valuable tool in studies on the epidemiology of K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca, for example in nosocomial infections, especially those concerning immunocompromised patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
