To evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of kanamycin alone and paired with cephalothin against Klebsiella strains compared with other conventional antibiotics.
Assessed in vitro antibacterial susceptibility of Klebsiella isolates against kanamycin, cephalothin, and combination regimens.
Compared antimicrobial activity against standard regimens, including tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and streptomycin combinations.
Kanamycin demonstrated potent in vitro antibacterial efficacy against tested Klebsiella isolates.
Combining kanamycin with cephalothin provided enhanced activity against Klebsiella, counteracting the rapid emergence of resistance observed with cephalothin monotherapy.
