“…In our study, the frequency of ceftriaxone resistance was 31%, which is higher than the rates reported in studies in the Netherlands (18.7%) and in the USA (10%) (27,28). The inconsistency in the antibiotic resistance rates might be due to differences in geographical area, type of antibiotics used, type of samples and indiscriminate use of antibiotics (29,30).…”

Background and Objectives: The resistance of gram-negative bacteria to antibiotics has become a serious problem, which imposes a significant increase in treatment costs. Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important nosocomial pathogen from the Enterobacteriaceae family. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and pattern of antibiotic resistance in K. pneumoniae strains isolated from clinical samples.Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed on 150 K. pneumonia strains isolated from different clinical samples such as urine, sputum, blood, ulcers, lung secretions and abdominal abscess. Antibiogram test was performed using the disk diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer). Minimum inhibitory concentration of amikacin, tobramycin and gentamicin was determined via the E-test for 50 strains with high resistance rates.Results: In this study, the highest rate of resistance was observed against carbenicilin, ceftriaxone, cefepime and streptomycin. K. pneumonia isolates were most frequent in urine and sputum samples. In the E-test, the highest rate of resistance was observed against gentamicin, tobramycin (16µg/ml) and amikacin (64µg/ml).Conclusion: Based on our results, tigecycline, netilmicin, kanamycin and amikacin are the most effective antibiotics for the treatment of K. pneumoniae infections.

“…In India and Bangladesh, 54% and 56% K. pneumoniae isolates were found to harbor MDR phenotype, respectively (Sikarwar andBatra, 2011, andChakraborty et al, 2016). Nevertheless, rates as high as 71.73% were detected in Pakistan (Ullah et al, 2009). On the opposite side, another study conducted in Northeast Thailand illustrated that only 14% of K. pneumoniae isolates were MDR which is substantially lower than ours (Lim et al, 2016).…”

“…Antibiotic resistance in K. species in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is also quite high, 71% isolates were resistant to 3 or more antibiotics (Multidrug resistant). Resistance to co-trimoxazole was highest followed by gentamicin, doxycycline, enoxacin, ciprofloxacin, gatifloxacin and kanamycin [26]. However, it was also shown that K. species have sensitivity to ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin above 95%.…”
