Prevalence of extended spectrum Beta-lactamase producing Klebsiella species in an intensive care unit

The main aim of this study includes, to isolate and speciate the Klebsiella isolates from various clinical specimens from patients admitted in ICU. To determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Klebsiella species by disc diffusion method. And to detect the presence of extended spectrum betalactamases (ESBL) by double disc synergy test and Inhibitor Potentiated disc diffusion test.
