Prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains and drug resistance of these strains in patients with urinary tract infection in the city of Marand – Iran

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common infections in all age groups that the lack of timely diagnosis and treatment can be associated with severe complications which can ultimately lead to more advanced disease . Urinary tract infections in theUnited States annually, about 4/2 to 8/2 percent of children are caught and causing more than 1/1 million medical visits in years. Resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae have a high prevalence, especially resistant to several antibiotics from different drugclasses.This resistance is so often exacerbate the disease. The purpose of this study was assessment the pattern of resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from antibiotic urinary tract infections (MDR) and determines the prevalence of drug resistance. A total of 1232 urine samples were studied during a year and 60 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and their antibiotic resistance was determined by disk diffusion method. Alarming prevalence of urinary Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate is notice for more attention to the proper administration of antibiotics in cases of UTI
