“…(Table 1&2). This has been documented by other studies also [23]. The highest percentage of Klebsiella pneumonia were isolated were from pus (27.8%) followed by urine (22%), blood (8%) and sputum (8%) ( Table 3) which is also In concordance with other studies [24].…”

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important cause of nosocomial and community acquired infections worldwide. It exhibits high antibiotic resistance due to production of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases (ESBLs) and Carbapenamases. The aim of present study was to know its resistance pattern of Klebsiella pneumoniae so as to help local physicians choose appropriate antibiotics for effective infection control. Materials and Methods: It was a prospective study carried out from January 2019 to July 2019 in the department of Microbiology of a tertiary care hospital in North India. The study comprised of a total of 194 non-repeat isolates obtained from various clinical samples received in Microbiology lab for culture & sensitivity testing. All isolates were processed to determine their antimicrobial sensitivity profile. For data analysis SPSS software, version 17.0 and MS excel 2007 were used. Results: Out of total 2155 (22.43%) positive cultures 194 (9%) isolates were that of Klebsiella pneumoniae Most of the isolates obtained were multi-drug resistant, ESBL and Carbapenamase producers. 100% isolates showed resistance to Ampicillin.Conclusion: Since the frequency of multiple drug resistance among Klebsiella pneumoniae is alarmingly high, therefore periodic monitoring of antimicrobial susceptibility profile of these agents is much needed. This will help physician in selection of appropriate chemotherapy and thus help in effective management of the infections and better patient care.

“…Out of 76 ESBL positive Klebsiella pneumoniae(by screening method), 64(84%) were positive by DDST, 71 (93%) by PCDDT and 69(90.7%) by Etest strip method.Sensitivity were found to be maximum (93%) by PCDDT method [20]. This study shows out of 76 ESBL screening positive isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae, same 64 isolates were found to be ESBL producer by DDST, PCDDT and Etest, 5isolates which werepositive by PCDDT and Etest were not detected by DDST and 2 isolate that were positive by PCDDT was not detected by both DDST and Etest [21].…”

To isolate, identify and speciate Klebsiella from various clinical samples and their Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern at tertiary care hospital, Chennai. Out of this 76 ESBL producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, 64(84%) were positive by Double Disc Synergy Test (DDST), 71(93%) by phenotypic confirmatory disc diffusion test (PCDDT) and 69(90.7%) by Etest strip method. Sensitivity was found to be maximum (93%) by PCDDT method, compared to other phenotypic methods such as DDST and Etest strip method. The Present study also highlights the need for the continued monitoring of Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of important bacterial pathogens, so that rational antibiotic policies can be formulated.
