Background & Objectives: Antibiotic resistance among pathogens bacteria are an important problem noted worldwide. Beta-lactamases that are produced by Enterobacteriaceae have been located mainly on plasmid. Treatment of these bacterial infections which produced β-lactamase are a major problem.
Materials & Methods: 111 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were collected from hospitals in Kerman; therefore, antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by disk diffusion method. At first, detection of ESBLs were performed by phenotypic confirmatory test, and presence of bla-SHV, bla-TEM, and bla-CTX-M were detected by PCR.
Results: Resistant to ampicillin (92.5%) was more than others antibiotics, and the imipenem (89%) was the most effective antibiotic against Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. Additionally, the resistance to all antibiotics in ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae was more than that of Non-ESBL Klebsiella pneumoniae. After the detection of bla-SHV, bla-TEM, and bla-CTX-M genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae by PCR, 56 (50.4%) isolates presented these genes.
Conclusion: With regard to high prevalence of ESBLs genes and high level of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, detecting these genes can prevent the extension of antibiotic resistance through these bacteria.

Keywords: Klebsiella pneumonia, Antibiotic resistance, β- lactamase genes, PCR
