Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from urine samples

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infectious diseases (Kolawale et al., 2009; Delanghe et al., 2000; Hryniewicz et al., 2000). They may be symptomatic or asymptomatic, and either type of infection can result in serious sequelae if not appropriately treated (Pezzlo, 1988). Although different causative agents can be responsible for UTIs, bacteria are the major cause being responsible for more than 95% of UTI cases (Bonadio et al., 2001).
