Study of Klebsiella Species Producing ESBL Isolated from USG Probes
Journal Title: Journal of Microbiology and Related Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Ultrasonography machines are ideal vectors for cross infections. A busy machine may be used to scan many patients a day. The infections can be transmitted via ultrasound probes & coupling gel. Klebsiella species are frequent cause of infection in both community & Hospital. Klebsiella isolated from US probe is an important nosocomial pathogen & infections due to it are difficult to manage due to resistance to multiple antibiotics. So this study aimed to determine the percentage ESBL producing Klebsiella species isolated from US probes & to determine the antibiotic sensitivity pattern.
