This study included the isolation of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria from different clinical sources of human and identification through biochemical tests and VITEK 2-Compact system .The results presentation that Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated and identified 55 (62.5%) Out of the1total number of (150) human patients. .The number of K. pneumonia isolates from burns and wounds was 6 (60%) ,urine samples 11(34.37%) sputum samples 32(80%) , and blood samples 6 (100 %). The results of the statistical analysis showed very significant differences indicating a higher level of Klebsiella pneumoniae in sputum

Keywords
