Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Klebsiella is an important common pathogen for causing community and hospital acquired infection. Considering high virulence &amp; pathogenicity of Klebsiella, it is necessary to find out incidence of Klebsiella in various clinical samples and their speciation. All the clinical samples were cultured on Blood &amp; MacConkey agar and incubated at 370C for 24-48hrs. Identification &amp; speciation were done by standard biochemical tests. Incidence of Klebsiella species was 11.6% and speciation of Klebsiella shown Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumoniae were 84.5%, Klebsiella pneumoniae ozaenae 3.5% and Klebsiella oxytoca 12%.</p>
