Observational analysis reveals high antibiotic resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from maternity patients, indicating urgent need for improved infection control measures.
Key Points
54.72% of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were resistant to conventional antibiotics, highlighting a major health concern.
Significant variations in antibiotic resistance patterns were noted, with 65.52% of resistant strains exhibiting multiple antibiotic resistance.
Microbiological techniques were used to screen 150 urine samples from maternity patients, revealing critical information about resistance.
The findings emphasize the need for effective antibiotic stewardship to protect maternal and neonatal health in healthcare settings.
