Klebsiella electrica is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Klebsiella. It was formerly known as Raoultella electrica before being reclassified in 2022 based on phylogenomic evidence.[1] The type strain of K. electrica was isolated from anodic biofilms of a microbial fuel cell fed with glucose.[2]
