Received: 18 Nov, 2017 Accepted: 31 Jan, 2018 Abstract Background and Objectives: Acquisition of AmpC β-lactamase enzymes is one of the important factors in the resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae to β-lactam antibiotics. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibiotic resistance, phenotypic frequency of AmpC, and detection of MOX, CIT, DHA, ACC, EBC, and FOX genes in K. pneumoniae strains isolated from medical centers in Kermanshah.
