The 16S-23S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions ofKlebsiellaspp., includingKlebsiella pneumoniaesubsp.pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniaesubsp.ozaenae, Klebsiella pneumoniaesubsp.rhinoscleromatis, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella planticola, Klebsiella terrigena, andKlebsiella ornithinolytica, were characterized, and the feasibility of using ITS sequences to discriminateKlebsiellaspecies and subspecies was explored. A total of 336 ITS sequences from 21 representative strains and 11 clinical isolates ofKlebsiellawere sequenced and analyzed. Three distinct ITS types—ITSnone(without tRNA genes), ITSglu[with a tRNAGlu (UUC)gene], and ITSile+ala[with tRNAIle (GAU)and tRNAAla (UGC)genes]—were detected in all species except forK. pneumoniaesubsp.rhinoscleromatis, which has only ITSgluand ITSile+ala. The presence of ITSnoneinEnterobacteriaceaehad never been reported before. Both the length and the sequence of each ITS type are highly conserved within the species, with identity levels from 0.961 to 1.000 for ITSnone, from 0.967 to 1.000 for ITSglu, and from 0.968 to 1.000 for ITSile+ala. Interspecies sequence identities range from 0.775 to 0.989 for ITSnone, from 0.798 to 0.997 for ITSglu, and from 0.712 to 0.985 for ITSile+ala. Regions with significant interspecies variations but low intraspecies polymorphisms were identified; these may be targeted in the design of probes for the identification ofKlebsiellato the species level. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS regions reveals the relationships amongKlebsiellaspecies similarly to that based on 16S rRNA genes.
