Aim: Antibiotic resistance pattern of klebsiella pneumoniae a major problem for society. Methods: After ethical approval from the institutional ethical committee this study was done in the department of microbiology from April 2021 to march 2022 in genesis institute of dental science and research centre with collaboration of anil baghi hospital, firozpur, Punjab India.

All the sample like urine, sputum, blood, pleural fluid and urethral discharge were collected in the department for isolation and identification of K. pneumoniae. After 24hrs those were positive sample, further proceed for grams staining. B D Phoenix advanced automated microbiology system was used for identification and sensitivity of bacteria for 24hrs. Results: The study showed that highest number of patients having Klebsiella pneumonia were from 50-70 years having 20 (40%)patients followed by 30-50 years with 16 (32%), from Above 70 years 12 (24%) and below the age of 30 years having lowest number with two (4%) patients out of all patients.
