Multiple Antibiotic Resistance and Esbl Producing Klebsiella Pneumoniae Isolated from Clinical Urine Samples

Klebsiella Pneumoniae is a non-motile gram-negative bacterium that belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae and that has become a well-recognized cause of nosocomial infections. Multi-drug resistance Klebsiella has been recognized as a cause of hospital acquired infections world wide. (Nima et al., 2008; Keynan and Rubinstein, 2007). They cause different kinds of infections, for example, pneumoniae urinary tract infection and bacteremia in immunocompromised hosts. They are resistant to numerous antibiotics, including extended spectrum Cephalosporins and are becoming an increasing problem in many hospitals, having a significant impact on clinical practice and overall treatment costs, resulting, complicate antibiotic therapy and interfere with empirical therapy (Podschun and Ullmann, 1998).
