3 Antibiotic Resistance Threats Highly Resistance Pathogenic Bacteria World Spreading Treatment failure to the last resort of medicine for gonorrhoea (third generation cephalosporin antibiotics) has been confirmed in at least countries (Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Japan, Norway, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae common intestinal bacteria that can cause life-threatening infections. Resistance in Escherichia coli to one of the most widely used medicines for the treatment of urinary tract infections is very widespread. Antibiotic resistance is present in every country. Antimicrobial resistant-microbes are found in people, animals, food, and the environment. They can spread between people and animals, and from person to person. Poor infection control, inadequate sanitary conditions and inappropriate food-handling encourage the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

5 Klebsiella pneumoniae Klebsiella pneumoniae has become an emerging nosocomial pathogen Infectious diseases by : pneumonia, urinary tract infection, bacteremia, cholecystitis, osteomyelitis, meningitis, and thromobophlebitis Antibiotic resistant has been rapidly increased worldwide The increased resistance to β-lactam antibiotics in K. pnuemoniae is mainly caused by production of extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL). Infection with ESBL producing leads to the failure of the disease treating. Moreover, various types of β-lactamases accelerate the emergence of multidrug-resistant.

22 Summary The production of various types of β-lactamase is considered a major mechanism responsible for the resistance to β-lactam antibiotics The MIC values of β-lactams against ATCC 2337, ciprofloxacininduced ATCC 2337, 237, K. pneumoniae 263, and 272 corresponded with the production of β-lactamases obtained from the dual disc diffusion assay. The constitute class A (SHV) and inducible class C (AmpC and FOX/MOX) were confirmed in ATCC 2337, ciprofloxacin-induced ATCC 2337, and 272. The class A (SHV), class C(FOX/MOX), and class D(OXA-48) were confirmed in 263. The β-lactam resistance associated with the production of β- lactamases in strains can provide useful information for designing an infection control strategy in combination with appropriate β-lactamase inhibitors.
