الملخص الإنجليزي

This study was attempted to find out the prevalence of blaCTX-M gene among carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae from upper respiratory tract infections .

In total ,100 throat samples were collected from children attending Babylon Teaching Hospital for Maternity and Pediatric at a period from November, 2015 to the end of February, 2016 .Fourteenth (14 %) isolates were specified as K.pneumoniae, these were screened phenotypically for extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production by disk combination method.

Nine (64.3 %) isolates were found to be screen-positive.

ESBL-producing isolates were submitted to antimicrobial susceptibility testing using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method.

The highest rates of resistance were observed for penicillin antibiotics (ampicillin and cloxacillin) with (88.88 %) and (77.77 %) resistance rate, respectively.

The lowest rate for carbapenem antibiotics (imipenem, 11.11 % and meropenem, 22.22 %).

Carbapenem resistant isolates were checked by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method for the presence of blaCTX-M , 2 (100 %) isolates gave positive result.
