To evaluate the resistivity of Klebsiella pneumonia against present antibiogram

Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae has become a health care concern due to its production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and its resistance to carbapenem. In February 2022, a 28-year-old female patient was admitted to the CCU private ward at Anil Bhagi Hospital in Firozpur, Punjab, India. The urine sample was inoculated with CLED agar medium for microbiological investigation. B D Phoenix sophisticated automated microbiology system was utilised for identification and sensitivity of bacteria for 24 hours for confirmation of bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity. Fosfomycin, teigocyclin and colistin were sensitive whereas other antibiotics were resistant. The observed radiuses were 13mm, 12mm, and 8mm, respectively. A urine culture revealed a highly resistant K. pneumoniae strain with over 1100,000 colony-forming units (cfu) per mL. In February 2022, a 38-year-old female patient was admitted to the CCU private ward. The 7-8 ml blood sample was collected in blood culture bottles for microbiological examination and cultured for 5 days in the B D Phoenix sophisticated automated microbiology equipment. Fosfomycin, teigocyclin and colistin were sensitive while other antibiotics were resistant. The radius observed was 9mm, 4 mm and 8 mm respectively.
