Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is second on the ranking of most common infection in community practice. It leads to significant morbidity and a high economic burden for treatment. Klebsiella pneumoniae accounts for 2nd highest organism isolated from urine samples of UTI patients after Escherichia coli. The management of UTI is complicated by the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumonia. Therefore, knowledge of the antibiotic resistance patterns of the pathogen is important not only to provide an appropriate therapy, but also for the prevention of resistance amongst the microbe. OBJECTIVE The present study was therefore undertaken to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Klebsiella pneumonia causing UTI in patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS The details of Klebsiella pneumonia grown in urine samples received in the Department of Microbiology, MOSC Medical College, were collected from the laboratory registers. These urine samples were then processed using standard methods and antibiotic susceptibility testing was done by Kirby Bauer’s disc diffusion method.
