    Bacterial alkaline phosphatases were compared using micro-complement fixation. This study recommends reclassifying Aerobacter aerogenes and Enterobacter aerogenes strains into the Klebsiella genus based on phosphatase similarities.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Bacterial Taxonomy
    • Enzymology

    Background:

    • The genera Aerobacter, Klebsiella, and Enterobacter have overlapping characteristics.
    • Alkaline phosphatases are enzymes with potential for bacterial classification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare alkaline phosphatases across bacterial strains.
    • To propose a taxonomic revision based on enzymatic profiles.

    Main Methods:

    • Micro-complement fixation technique was employed.
    • Alkaline phosphatase activity was analyzed in 29 bacterial strains.

    Main Results:

    • Significant similarities in alkaline phosphatases were observed between strains.
    • These similarities support a unified classification.

    Conclusions:

    • Aerobacter aerogenes and Enterobacter aerogenes strains should be reclassified.
    • Reclassification into the genus Klebsiella is recommended based on phosphatase resemblance.
