Abstract
The study was retrospective-descriptive and consisted of the analysis of the spectrum of infections produced by Klebsiella spp. strains in patients hospitalized in a multidisciplinary hospital as well as the antibiotic resistance pattern of these germs. Klebsiella spp. were identified more frequently in patients hospitalized in ICU (2021: 28,74%; 2022: 40,43%), Internal Diseases (2021: 24,8%; 2022: 15,55%) and General Surgery (2021: 7,87%; 2022: 7,82%) wards being isolated in higher percentages from urine (2021: 44,62%; 2022: 47,21%), respiratory secretions (2021: 25,85%; 2022: 22,71%) and wound secretions (2021: 15,62%%; 2022: 13,28%). Klebsiella species showed higher resistance to cephalosporins and levofloxacin. Most strains of Klebsiella were sensitive to colistin and carbapenems.
