Kluyvera is a Gram negative, facultatively anaerobic bacterial and motile genus from the family of Enterobacteriaceae which have peritrichous flagella.{{cite journal|last1=Farmer|first1=J.j.|title=Kluyvera|journal=Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria|date=1 January 2015|doi=10.1002/9781118960608.gbm01151|publisher=John Wiley & Sons, Ltd|language=en|pages=1–18|isbn=978-1-118-96060-8 }} Kluyvera occur in water, soil and sewage.{{cite book|last1=Long|first1=Sarah |first2=Larry |last2=Pickering |first3=Charles G. |last3=Prober|title=Principles and practice of pediatric infectious diseases|date=2012|publisher=Elsevier Saunders|location=Edinburgh|isbn=978-1-4557-3985-1|edition=4th}} Kluyvera bacteria can cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients.
Etymology
Transference of antibiotic resistance
In 2010, a gene blaCTX-M-15 responsible for coding CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) jumped from its chromosome to its plasmid, which was then shared among several bacteria. ESBL confers resistance to pathogenic bacterial strains. This caused the development of antibiotic resistance in almost all known pathogenic bacteria at that time.{{cite journal | vauthors = Kumarasamy KK, Toleman MA, Walsh TR, Bagaria J, Butt F, Balakrishnan R, Chaudhary U, Doumith M, Giske CG, Irfan S, Krishnan P, Kumar AV, Maharjan S, Mushtaq S, Noorie T, Paterson DL, Pearson A, Perry C, Pike R, Rao B, Ray U, Sarma JB, Sharma M, Sheridan E, Thirunarayan MA, Turton J, Upadhyay S, Warner M, Welfare W, Livermore DM, Woodford N| title = Emergence of a new antibiotic resistance mechanism in India, Pakistan, and the UK: a molecular, biological, and epidemiological study | journal = Lancet Infect Dis | volume = 10 | issue = 9 | pages = 597–602| date = September 2010 | doi =10.1016/S1473-3099(10)70143-2 |pmid = 20705517 | pmc= 2933358}}
