Summary

When growing under iron deficiency and maximal aeration in a gluconate or pyruvate medium, wild strains ofKlebsiella andEscherichia coli accumulated 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid and amino acid derivates of this acid. Without aeration these substances could not be detected in the same medium. 60 out of 72 capsule type test strains ofKlebsiella, 26 of 30 freshly isolatedKlebsiella- and 12 of 20Escherichia coli-strains behalfed in this way.

Zusammenfassung

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird gezeigt, daß unter geeigneten Bedingungen (Belüftung, Eisenmangel, Gluconat bzw. Pyruvat als C-Quelle) auch Wildstämme aus denKlebsiella- undEscherichia coli-Gruppen 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoesäure und deren Aminosäurederivate ablagern. Dieses Verhalten konnte bei 60 der 72 Teststämme für die Klebsiella-Kapseltypen und bei 26 von 30Klebsiellasowie bei 12 von 20Escherichia coli-Stämmen aus Patientenmaterial nachgewiesen werden. Entsprechende Schlußfolgerungen und Vergleiche mit anderen Bakterienarten werden diskutiert.
