Out of which 134 (10.45%) samples showed growth of <i>Klebsiella</i>. Males 71 (52.98%) were more commonly affected by infections caused by <i>Klebsiella</i> then females 67 (50.0%). Most common age group affected was between 15 &ndash;45 years, maximum growth of <i>Klebsiella</i> was noted in IPD patients especially from Surgery department. <i>Klebsiella</i> (n=134) was most commonly isolated from wound swab 40(29.90%), followed by urine sample 32 (24.0%) and pus 23 (17.20%). <i>Klebsiella</i> isolates showed higher sensitivity to piperacillin&ndash;tazobactam, amikacin , imipenem, and fluroquinolones. Maximum resistance was noted for ampicillin and&nbsp; ceftriaxone. About 47 (35.0%) of <i>Klebsiella</i> isolates were ESBL producers while 27 (20.0%) of <i>Klebsiella</i> isolates were MBL producers.</span></p></p>
