The study included neonates who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and had suspected sepsis after hospital admission. A full laboratory sepsis screen for each neonate was performed and included cerebrospinal fluid analysis, blood cultures using BACT/Alert blood culture system and urine culture. Aerobic bacteria were identified using Microscan automated microbiological system. Bacterial isolates defined as Klebsiella pneumoniae were further subjected to microbiological laboratory studies including antibiotics susceptibility tests by disc diffusion method, determination of MBLs production by double discs and combined disc methods and determination of genotypes of MBLs-Klebsiella pneumoniae by multiplex PCR for VIM, IMP and NDM genes. MBLs-Klebsiella pneumoniae was detected among 48.1% by double discs, combined disc and genotypes respectively. The most common identified gene responsible for MBLsKlebsiella pneumoniae was VIM (69.2%) followed by IMP and NDM (23.1% for each) and mixed genotypes were identified in 23.1%. We can conclude from this study that carbapenemase production is a common finding among the isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae among neonates with sepsis. Both double discs and combined discs methods are accurate as screening tool for detection of resistance to carbapenem drugs. Genotypes responsible for MBLs determined VIM and IMP genes as the main prevalent genes beside NDM. Extensive studies should be carried out to determine the prevalence of MBLsKlebsiella pneumoniae other geographic locations in Egypt to assess the magnitude of the problem. Antibiotics tigecycline and colistin are suitable for treatment under strict laboratory supervision and strict infection control practices and antibiotic policies should be strengthened to avoid the blowout of these microbial bums in our hospitals.

Background: Klebsiella species are common causes of nosocomial, ulcers, blood and urinary tract infections, and also acquired pneumonia from the hospital and various intra-abdominal infections. Bacterial resistance mechanisms against antibiotics are different, but one of these resistance mechanisms, which is very problematic, is the production of β-lactamase enzymes in bacteria. The aim of this...
