Extended – Spectrum β-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella Species among Clinical Isolates

Extended – Spectrum Βeta-Lactamase producing strains among clinical isolates has been steadily increasing over the past years. Microorganisms responsible for UTIs such as Escherichia coli and klebsiella 5pp have the ability to produce ESBLs in large quantities. All the strains of klebsiella species in this study were collected from routine clinical samples confirmed by biochemical and other tests. Stock cultures of these strains were maintained in nutrient agar Medium. All samples were done in Naryana Medical College and Hospital, Nellore. The study was to know the prevenlance of extended spectrum  lactamase in multidrug resistant (MDR) klebsiella species isolated from different clinical samples the wide spread use of antibiotics in hospitals an emergence of multidrug resistant organisms of low virulence like klebsiella causing were significantly p <0.05 as a serious opportunistic infections. Development of an infection control policy and hospital antibiotic prescribing guide should follow next. The Petri-dish has long inspired our admiration for ESBL producers. It is time to extend our appreciation to the patients who are the ultimate sufferers.
