A retrospective study of the changing trends of antimicrobial resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from urine samples over last 3 years (2012-2014).

In a study done by Manikandan in Tamil Nadu, India the results of resistance to imipenem (13.9%) are quite similar to our study.[ 4 ] For nitrofurantoin, there is an increasing trend of resistance seen over the three successive years increasing from 49.03% (2012) to 58.13% (2014) which is very similar (53%) to a study done by Sarathbabu et al . in Andhra Pradesh, India.[ 16 ] In the present study, another finding which raises an alarm is about MDR, urinary isolates of Klebsiella spp . show 65% (2012) and 67% (2014) resistance to fluoroquinolones, third-generation cephalosporins and aminoglycosides collectively.
