<p>K. pneumoniae was isolated from 45 samples (18.8%). The highest rate of isolation was in urine [37 (24.8%)] and lowest in sputum [8 (13.3%)]. Resistance to antimicrobial agents: amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cefuroxime, and nalidixic acid (100%); sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (91.1%) and ciprofloxacin (88.9%), ofloxacin (47.2%) and imipenem (19.4%). Multi-drug resistance rate was high (85.7%) while pan-drug resistance was 17%. Five of the 8 (62.5%) imipenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates were found to be carbapenemases-producing. Carbapenemase resistance genes detected included blaOXA gene [5 (100%)], blaOXA and blaKPC [4 (80%)].</p>
