Abstract
The problem of antibiotic resistance is strictly considered a hospital one and reserved to bacteria responsible of nosocomial infections. During the last years, several investigations have shown the increasing role of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the intra-hospital infections. In this work, we investigate the presence of this species at hospitalized patients and within their environment in order to estimate the relationships between the two reservoirs and evaluate the resistance to antibiotics of this opportunist pathogen.
