摘 要：Klebsiella pneumoniae has been associated with different types of infections and one of the important aspects of Klebsiella associated infection is the emergence of multi-drug resistant strains particularly those involved in nosocomial *** our studies we have collected fifty-nine clinical isolates,from different places of India as this study was conducted in *** resembled Klebsiella were recovered from respiratory,UTI and pus *** of fifty-nine clinical isolates,twenty were found positive for *** at biochemical *** clinical isolates of *** were further tested for antimicrobial sensitivity and most of them were found to be multidrug *** confirmed *** isolates were resistant to carbenicillin and one among them recovered from sputum sample of a pneumonic patient was resistant to all the antimicrobial agents tested except exhibiting a partial susceptibility to *** pneumoniae strains from clinical cases in our study were found highly susceptible to quinolones,aminoglycoside,amykacin and *** the same time over 60% strains were resistant to chloramphenicol and *** also found that 28 to 76% of them were resistant to cephalosporins(ceftizoxime and cefotaxime).
