The presence of <em>Klebsiella </em>spp. in street foods cause several human infections, such as Urinary Tract Infections (UTI), pneumonia, septicemia, meningitis, rhinoscleroma, ozaena, sinusitis, otitis, enteritis, appendicitis, and cholecystitis. Therefore, this study aims to determine bacterial contamination specifically by <em>K. pneumoniae </em>in street foods and drinks. A total of 120 samples were collected from schools and public places often visited by people in Yogyakarta, then processed and subjected to microbiological analysis. From the result, the typical red colonies indicated the presence of <em>Klebsiella </em>on the CCA medium and confirmed using the API-20E kit. It was also observed that 11 samples were contaminated with <em>K.</em> <em>pneumoniae, </em>while 3 samples were identified with <em>K. oxytoca, </em>which demonstrated the presence of bacteria in street foods and drinks. Therefore, government and the Indonesian Agency for Drug and Food Control (BPOM) are encouraged to actively disseminate the benefits of healthy food and provide adequate supervision of food vendors.</p> ER -
