Calymmatobacterium granulomatis (bacteria) (C0006792)

Definition (NCI) A species of facultatively anaerobic, Gram negative, rod shaped bacteria assigned to the phylum Proteobacteria. This species is nonmotile, oxidase negative and is covered by a large capsule. K. granulomatis is pathogenic and the causative agent of the sexually transmitted disease Donovanosis.
Definition (NCI_CDISC) Any bacterial organism that can be assigned to the species Klebsiella granulomatis.

Granuloma Inguinale (C0018190)

Definition (MSHCZE) Onemocnění vznikající obv. v okolí pohlavních orgánů a vyskytující se v teplých oblastech. Původcem je bakterie Calymmatobacterium granulomatis. U muže bývá postižen glans, u žen bývá postižení rozsáhlejší. Průběh bývá chronický, léze mají charakter uzlíků s pozdějším zvředovatěním, obv. nejsou příliš bolestivé. Onemocnění bez léčby probíhá chronicky a po delší době může způsobit značnou lokální destrukci. Spíše než o vlastní přenos pohlavním stykem se připouští možnost autoinokulace. Léčebně se používají doxycyklin, cotrimoxazol, event. erytromycin nebo fluorochinolony. (cit. Velký lékařský slovník online, 2013 http://lekarske.slovniky.cz/ )
Definition (MSH) Anogenital ulcers caused by Calymmatobacterium granulomatis as distinguished from lymphogranuloma inguinale (see LYMPHOGRANULOMA VENEREUM) caused by CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS. Diagnosis is made by demonstration of typical intracellular Donovan bodies in crushed-tissue smears.
