Klebsiella species isolates collected from the Kenyatta National Hospital and the Centre for Microbiology Research of the Kenya Medical Research Institute in Nairobi, Kenya were identified and screened for resistance to commonly prescribed antimicrobial agents. Most of the isolates were found to exhibit resistance to more than three agents amongst those tested by both disk diffusion tests and minimum inhibitory concentration determination.
