Klebsiella pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen accounting for 5-7% of hospital acquired infections. The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae has been increasing rapidly over recent years causing many therapeutic problems worldwide. This study aimed to research the antimicrobial resistance profile, detect β-lactamase genes among clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae, and determine their clonal relatedness.
