In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 165 K. pneumoniae strains were collected from Tabriz hospitals during six months and were identified by standard laboratory tests in a dedicated environment. Antibiotic resistance assay was performed by disk diffusion method. The highest resistance of K. pneumoniae isolates to tetracycline antibiotics (71.5 %), ciprofloxacin (56.9 %) and ceftriaxone (41.8 %) and the highest sensitivity to gentamicin (87.9 %), imipenem (85.5 %) and Cefepime (81.8 %) obtained. With increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance, early detection of antibiotic resistant strain is necessary to select appropriate treatment and prevent spread of antibiotic resistance.}, keywords = {Klebsiella pneumoniae,Urinary tract infection,Antibiotic resistance pattern}, url = {https://www.healthbiotechpharm.org/article_133125.html}, eprint = {https://www.healthbiotechpharm.org/article_133125_ea8dc4744cd89af0d4d7104fc77ad268.pdf} }
