Klebsiella pneumonia can cause a wide range of infections, including meningitis, bacteremia, wound infection, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, etc. This organism is becoming resistant to a large group of antibiotics, especially β-lactam antibiotics. Polymerase chain reaction PCR was used to detect carbapenemases-encoding genes. Clonal relationships were analyzed by Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE). Evolution of these enzymes in Palestinian hospitals.
