One hundred and thirty-six strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated from clinical specimen taken from pediatric patiants at 6 different hospitals and identified, characterized and investigated on the patterns of antibiotic resistance. The 136 strains showed the positive reactions in the 17 tests; Voges-Proskauer, ONPG, cirate utilization, KCN degradation, productions of lysine decarboxylase, acid and gas from glucose, utilizations of malonate, manitol, rhamnose, salicin, sucrose, raffinose, arabinose, lactose, sucrose, inositol and raffinose, but the strains showed the negative reactions in the 8 tests; production of $H_2S$, indole, arginine dehydrolase, ornithine decaraoxylase, phenylalanine deaminase, motility, methly red and gelatin liquefaction. 41 did not utilize dulcitol, and 32 did not utilize adonitol. The 36 out of them produced klebecin. The 136 strains were resistant to ampicillin, 2 to gentamicin, 14 to cephalothin, 16 to chloramphenicol, 8 to kanamycin, 13 to streptomycin, and 17 to tetracycline. Twenty strains were resistant to 2 kinds of antibiotics 5 strains to 3, 4 to 4 and 1 to 6 and 7.
