Twenty-two strains of K. ozaenae required CO2 for characteristic growth when cultured at 37°C and growth was promoted by co-trimoxazole, tetracycline and sodium barbitone. Four strains of K. pneumoniae, two of K. edwardsii var. atlantae and one of K. edwardsii var. edwardsii gave increased viable counts after incubation in CO2. None of the 40 strains of K. aerogenes tested required CO2 for growth. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/00222615-13-1-31
