    Abstract

    In recent years, due to the inappropriate use of antibiotics, drug resistance has increased in Gram negative bacilli, including Klebsiella pneumoniae. Drug resistance is associated with an increase in mortality and therapeutic costs. Therefore, determination of an antibiotic resistance pattern for choosing the appropriate treatment for infections caused by this bacterium seems necessary. In the present study all Klebsiella isolated during study period from Pus, CSF,ET tube. Urine, Sputum etc were evaluated for their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern .160 Klebsiella isolated from various clinical specimen were processed for antimicrobial sensitivity using disc diffusion method as per CLSI guideline. Maximum resistance was found for Piperacillin-tazobactum (74%). Most of the Klebsiella found resistant to commonly used antibiotics . 36% of isolated were found Multidrug resistant (MDR).Among tested antimicrobials highest sensitivity was found for carbapenem group of antibiotics.
