And evaluation of the efficiency of some antibiotics in inhibiting isolates. The study extended from January to mid-April. A total of 50 isolates identified as Klebsiella pneumonia using traditional biochemical tests, Of them, 13 isolates were hypervirulent, with a percentage of 26% of the studied isolates. A drug sensitivity test was conducted for 10 antibiotics and they were as follows (Amoxicillin – clavulanat, Cefotaxime, Ceftazidime, Ceftriaxone, Cefoxitin, Imipenem, Meropenem, Azteronam, Amikacin and Gentamicin) The ratio of resistance to an antibody Amoxicillin – clavulanat have reached 50% While the percentage of resistance to Cefotaxime 46% While the percentage of resistance to Ceftazidime 56% While the percentage of resistance Ceftriaxone 60% While the percentage of resistance to Cefoxitin, Imipenem, Meropenem, Azteronam, Amikacin and Gentamicin Straight (56% , 20% ,26% , 40% , 46%, 56%).
