Abstract
The study of Klebsiella pneumoniae as a food born pathogen that isolated from sheep and goat meat at Matrouh Governorate, and tracking the extent of its resistance to various antibiotics, is considered the first study at Matrouh Governorate. Out of 48 meat samples, 6 (12.5%) were positive for Klebsiella pneumoniae subspecies pneumoniae by PCR. All Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates (100%) showed presence of fim H and aerobactin genes. All isolates showed resistance to at least 3 different classes of antibiotics, so, considered as multi drug resistant (MDR) or pan-drug resistant. The 2 pan-drug resistant strains were extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) producers.
