Species include K. pneumo´niae (also called K. friedlän´deri ), the etiologic agent of Friedländer's pneumonia ; K. pneumo´niae ozae´nae, which occurs in ozena and other respiratory diseases; and K. rhinosclero´matis, a species isolated from patients [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

A small percentage of pneumonias have as their etiologic agent Klebsiella pneumoniae, an organism belonging to the Friedländer group. Bullowa reports this organism as the causative agent in 1.1 per cent of 4,416 cases of pneumonia. [jamanetwork.com]

Etiology: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative facultatively anaerobic non spore-forming rod. K. pneumoniae has not been recognized as a primary pathogen. Incidence: The incidence of infection is rare. [dora.missouri.edu]
