What is it about?
Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella which have increased rapidly and resistant to antibiotics commonly used and have became a major problem in the area of infectious diseases. Nosocomial infections are primarily caused by Klebsiella bacteria, which leads to an increase in health care costs and mortality rate.

Why is it important?
This study as revealed the resistance genes present in the isolates in the study area and their prevalence including the resistance pattern of Klebsiella species, it is important in clinicals because the outbreak of these isolates producing ESBLs can cause serious problems in the future, regarding the treatment of infections caused by this common pneumonia pathogen. This study revealed high antimicrobial resistance among Klebsiella isolates in the study region.
Perspectives
Its a great privilege writing this article, it has revealed information on the use and misuse of antibiotics which will help people to know about dangers of misuse of antibiotics and infection. i hope other researchers will find this article useful.
