Resistance of Hospital Originated, ESBL (+) 50 Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains to Some Antibiotics and the Importance of the Distance Between Discs in Determining ESBL

Resistance to some antibiotics were investigated by Kirby-Bauer disc-diffusion method in extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) positive 50 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from patients. ESBL activity was found to be positive in 39 (78%), and 46 (92%) strains when the distance between disc c...
