In this study, the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from urine samples of apparently healthy school children in a local primary school in Abakaliki, Nigeria was bacteriologically investigated. A total of 25 urine samples were collected from the school children using sterile urine containers. The isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae was carried out on eosin methylene blue (EMB) and MacConkey (MAC) agar plates. Culture plates showing significant bacterial growth (>10 CFU/ml) were processed further for the identification of Klebsiella pneumoniae using standard microbiology techniques. Antibiogram was determined using the modified Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion technique as per the CLSI criteria on Mueller-Hinton agar plates. The rate of isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae from the urine samples of the school children used in this study was high (60%; n=15). The result of the antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that more than 70% of the Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated were highly resistant or intermediately resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and clarithromycin and augmentin. This was closely followed by resistance to perfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, gentamicin and ofloxacin. Nitrofurantoin had no inhibitory activity against the Klebsiella pneumoniaeisolates recovered in this study. The data provided could help to step up surveillance and monitoring measures geared towards the proper detection and reporting of antimicrobial resistance in the non-hospital environment. Keywords Antimicrobial Resistance; Enterobacteriaceae; Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing; Gram Negative Bacteria; Nigeria Introduction Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of microorganisms, such as bacteria to grow in the presence of an antimicrobial agent that would normally kill it or inhibit its growth. It is one of the biggest current challenges facing the healthcare sector globally especially in the area of infection control and disease containment. Most Gramnegative bacteria including but not limited to Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are fast becoming resistant to the onslaught of antimicrobial agents because they harbour and transmit drug resistance genes including but not limited to metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), AmpC enzymes and extended spectrum β-lactamases known as ESBLs [1, 2].

Measuring the prevalence and antibiogram of drug resistant organisms coupled with proper use of available drugs is critical to reducing the possible risks associated with infections due to these organisms [3]. Klebsiella is a genus of non-motile, Gram-negative, oxidase-negative, rod-shaped bacteria with a prominent polysaccharidebased capsule; and they are ubiquitous in the environment [4, 5]. The members of the genus Klebsiella are a part of the normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of man and animals. Infections with Klebsiella pneumoniae can lead to a wide range of disease states, notably pneumonia, urinary tract infections, septicemia, meningitis, diarrhea, and soft tissue infections [4, 5, 6]. The majority of human Klebsiella infections are caused by K. pneumoniae, followed by K. oxytoca. Klebsiella species are sometimes regarded as coliforms as is applicable to E. coli and other enteric bacteria [4, 5]. The antimicrobial resistance nature of Klebsiella species is thought to be attributable mainly to the multidrug efflux pumps of the organism, which allows it to actively pump out antimicrobial agents from the cell [7]. The ability of K. pneumoniae to colonize the hospital environment, including carpeting, sinks, flowers, and various surfaces, as well as the skin of patients and hospital staff, has been identified as a major factor in the spread of hospital-acquired infections including drug resistance genes [8]. Klebsiella species is one of the major causes of both hospital-acquired and community-acquired infections, and some strains of this organism are notoriously resistant to some available antimicrobial agents [2, 6, 8]. It is in view of this that this present study presumptively evaluated the prevalence and antibiogram of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates recovered from the urine samples of healthy school children in the community. Materials and Methods Study Area and Population The study area of this research was a local primary school located in Abakaliki metropolis of Ebonyi State Nigeria. Both male and female school children were recruited for this study. This study was carried out over a two (2) months period from July to August Sample Collection and Processing A total of 25 school children including male and female were used for this study. The school children were apparently healthy children who presented with no clinical signs and symptoms of any disease. The urine samples were obtained by informed consent of the school children used for this study. Urine samples were aseptically collected in sterile urine bottles containing boric acid from a total of 25 school children. All collected samples were labelled and transported to the Microbiology laboratory unit of Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki within one hour of collection for bacteriological analysis. Culture and identification of Klebsiella pneumoniae A loopful of the urine samples were each plated onto freshly prepared MacConkey (MAC) agar and eosin methylene blue (EMB) agar plates, and incubated at 37 o C for h [9]. All culture plates showing significant bacterial growth (>10 CFU/ml) were further processed by sub culturing onto freshly prepared MAC and EMB agar plates for isolation of pure cultures, and for the identification of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The isolated colonies growing on the culture media plate was identified based on their colonial characteristics, microscopy, and biochemical testing. Klebsiella pneumoniae produces mucoid colonies on MacConkey agar and non-metallic green sheen colonies on EMB agar; and they are Gram negative, citrate positive and urease positive [9]. Antibiogram The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out on Mueller-Hinton (MH) agar plates as per the guidelines of the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) using the modified Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion technique as was previously described [1, 2]. The following antibiotics were used: ampicillin (30 mcg), nitrofurantoin (100 mcg), ciprofloxacin (10 mcg), gentamicin (10 mcg), ofloxacin (10 mcg), ceftriaxone (30 mcg), chloramphenicol (10 mcg), augmentin (30 mcg), clarithromycin (30 mcg) and perfloxacin (30 mcg). All susceptibility test plates were incubated at 37 o C for h; and inhibition zone diameter(s) were measured, recorded and interpreted using the standard antibiotic breakpoints recommended by the CLSI [10]. The degree of susceptibility of the isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae to the tested antibiotics were interpreted as either sensitive (S) or resistant (R) by measuring their respective inhibition page 2 of 6

Results Table 1 shows the colonial features, morphology and biochemical reaction of the isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae from the urine samples. Klebsiella pneumoniae produces mucoid colonies on MacConkey agar and nonmetallic green sheen colonies on eosin methylene blue agar (Table 1). A total of 15 (60%) isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae was bacteriologically recovered from the urine samples. The prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae according to the sex of the school children used in this study is shown in (Table 2). It was observed in our study that more of the Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated from females (69.2%) than males (50.0%). Statistical analysis however shows that there was no significant difference in the rate of isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae between the male and female school children (p>0.05). Table 3 shows the distribution of the isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae based on the age of the school children used in this study. In relation to their age, Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated more from school children in the age range of 8-10 years followed by school children in the age range of >12 (Table 3). The isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae from the school children shows possible contamination from the school environment. Statistically, the occurrence of Klebsiella pneumoniae shows no significant difference as per the age of the school children (p>0.05).

All the isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae showed varying levels of susceptibility and resistance to the tested antibiotics used in this study. However, the isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae were highly resistant or intermediately resistant to ampicillin, clarithromycin, chloramphenicol, ceftriaxone and ofloxacin. Moreover, this was closely followed by perfloxacin and augmentin (Table 4). None of the isolated Klebsiella pneumoniae was inhibited by the antimicrobial onslaught of nitrofurantoin.

Antimicrobial resistance is a natural phenomenon but it can be contained and averted through proper drug prescription and appropriate detection of their emergence and spread in environmental microbiota. The economic cost of antimicrobial resistance goes beyond the morbidity and mortality associated with it; it also includes the loss of efficacy or ineffectiveness of some available antimicrobial agents [6, 8, 10, 11]. In this study, the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates bacteriologically recovered from the urine samples of school children in a local primary school in Abakaliki, Nigeria was analyzed. Out of the 25 urine samples analyzed in this study, a total of 15 (60%) isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae was bacteriologically recovered, and this indicates a possible bacterial infection of the school children in this school used in our study. According to Podschun et al. [6], Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterial organism that is ubiquitously found in the environment including surface waters; and the bacterium is found in animals and humans as an important community/nosocomial pathogen that may harbour antibiotic resistance traits [6, 7, 11]. The prevalence of Klebsiella pneumoniae in our study compares favorably page 4 of 6

[13] who reported that Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most occurring Enterobacteriaceae found in cases of urinary tract infections (UTI) of urine samples of patients analyzed from both the community and hospital environment. The result of the antimicrobial susceptibility testing shows that the Klebsiella pneumoniae were highly resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, clarithromycin, ceftriaxone, augmentin and ciprofloxacin. This is similar to the reports of Adeyemo et al. [14] who also reported in their study that enteric organisms particularly Klebsiella pneumoniae are multidrug resistant in nature. Most notably, all the Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were completely resistant to nitrofurantoin (100%), which is used clinically for the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs). This is in contrast to the work of Chikere et al. [15] who reported sensitivities of enteric organisms including Klebsiella pneumoniae to nitrofurantoin. In their study, Okonko et al. [16] reported sensitivities of enteric organisms including Klebsiella pneumoniae to nitrofurantoin; and they also recommended the use of nitrofurantoin for the treatment of UTIs especially when treatment is necessary. However, the Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates recovered in this study showed appreciable sensitivity to gentamicin and ofloxacin, which are found in the aminoglycoside and fluoroquinolone families of antibiotics respectively. Conclusively, our study shows that Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from community samples are notoriously resistant to some commonly used antibiotics especially to nitrofurantoin to which all the Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates showed reduced susceptibility. We recommend the continuous screening of samples from the nonhospital environment for possible emergence and spread of drug resistant bacteria that may be responsible for some community acquired infections. Further molecular characterization of the Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated in this study is required for deciphering the genetic determinants responsible for the multidrug resistant nature of the isolates.
