Abstract

The susceptibility of K. pneumoniae isolates toward 22 antibiotics kind where examined by technique of disk diffusion. The result reported that 63 (98.44%) isolates of K. pneumoniae were cefotaxime resistant, 62 (96.88%) isolates were resistant to both ampicillin and amoxclave, 59 (92.19%) isolates were resistant to cefepime, 57 (89.06%) isolates were resistant to cefoxitin, 52 (81.25%) and 54 (84.38%) were ceftizoxime and ceftriaxone resistant respectively. Present result demonstrated that 19 (29.69%) and 32 (50%) isolates of K. pneumoniae were imipenem and meropenem resistant respectively, 11 (17.19%), 14 (21.88%) and 43 (67.19%) isolates were norfloxxacin resistant, levofloxcacin and ciprofloxacin respectively. This study explained that 7 (10.94%), 19 (29.69%) and 30 (46.88) isolates were amikacin resistance, tobramycin and kanamycin respectively, 51 (79.69%) and 5 (89.06%) isolates were resistant to sulphonamide and trimethoprim respectively.
