Abstract
This study analyze the prevalence of bla
CTX-M containing Klebsiella pneumoniae. During the period from October, 2017 to the end of January, 2018, a total of one hundred swab samples were collected from environment of Al-Hillah Teaching Hospital / Hillah city. Thirteen (13%) isolates were identified as K.pneumoniae. All K.pneumoniae isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Higher resistance rates were observed for penicillin antibiotics (ampicillin and cloxacillin) with resistance rate of (84.61%) and (69.23%), respectively. Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production was assayed phenotypically using disk combination method. Five (38%) isolates were screen-positive. Carbapenem resistance was detected in 2 isolates of K.pneumoniae, these were checked further by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method for the presence of bla
CTX-M gene, 1 (50%) isolate gave positive result.
