چکیده
The genus Klebsiella contains Gram negative, capsulated, non-motile bacilli, belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family (Mackie, 1999). There are five species under this genus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella planticola, Klebsiella terrigena, and Klebsiella ornithinolytica. Amongst them, the most common opportunistic and nosocomial pathogen is Klebsiella pneumoniae causing pneumonia, pyogenic infections, meningitis, urinary tract infections (UTI) and rarely diarrhoea and attack immunocompromised, hospitalized individuals associated with diabetes mellitus, chronic pulmonary, cardiac, renal and neoplastic diseases (Orhue et al.,2015)

Objective(s): Klebsiella infections are caused mainly by K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca. In the last two decades, a new type of invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae which contains mucoviscosity-associated gene (magA) has emerged. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of magA gene and to detect antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Klebsiella spp. isolated from clinical samples....
