Hi there!
I am gonna assume that you are asking about Klebsiella pneumoniae here since there are many species, and the pneumoniae species is pretty bad because it causes pneumonia in the lungs, as the name suggests. There could be other species that infect humans 👀
I would say antibiotics would totally help but it should be prescribed by a legit doctor and the sample must be tested by the lab people to confirm the presence of such a bacteria, nail down its identity, strain type and most importantly, whether it's susceptible to any of the antibiotics.
In my experience, I had this bacteria grown on an agar plate and it was really slimy due to its capsule, making it a rather notorious pathogen. A good number of them are antibiotic-resistant due to the ability to chuck out antibiotics with the help of an efflux pump.
In conclusion, there could be some antibiotics out there to treat it as long as nobody at home attempts to self medicate, which I highly don't recommend at all, and goes to see a decent doctor for a proper diagnosis.
Hope this was the response you were looking for! 😄
Yes, men can catch klebsiella infections. Klebsiella is a type of bacteria that can cause various infections in people, regardless of gender. It is important to practice good hygiene and seek medical treatment if you suspect an infection.
chloramphenicolnitrofurantoinamikacinofloxacingentamicinnalidixic acidThese are the sensitive medicines for klebsiella :)
These are found in the case of nasal Klebsiella rhiniscleromatis infection.
Klebsiella pneumonia is a type of bacterial pneumonia caused by infection with the Klebsiella pneumoniae bacterium, a gram-negative bacteria which is typically carried in fecal material and ingested through accidental aspiration or exposure to contaminated medical instruments. This bacterial infection is usually opportunistic, meaning that it appears in patients who are already battling an existing medical problem or infection, and it can be very dangerous for some patients.
I think the best treatment for a lung infection is Ciprofloxacin. I've tried it with many of my patients and it's effective.
Chest congestion associated with Klebsiella pneumonia can vary in duration depending on the severity of the infection and the effectiveness of treatment. Generally, symptoms may last from a few days to several weeks. If treated promptly with appropriate antibiotics, symptoms may resolve more quickly. However, untreated or severe cases can lead to prolonged symptoms and complications.
The antibiotic that is best for proteus skin infection will be determined by your doctor. Usually, Cefadroxil is given to provide treatment.
No, Klebsiella pneumoniae is non-motile. No, Klebsiella pneumoniae is non-motile.
Klebsiella is generally considered significant in urine cultures when present in any amount, as it is a common cause of urinary tract infections. Normal urine should ideally be sterile, meaning there should be no bacteria present. If Klebsiella is found in a urine culture, it is typically considered a sign of infection.
Antibiotic therapy is the backbone of puerperal infection treatment.
Hydrogen peroxide can help to kill some bacteria in the mouth, but it is not a recommended treatment for a tooth infection. It's best to see a dentist for proper evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotics or drainage of the infection.
I currently have this, and I would have to say its not a good thing to have. I got it in my urinary tract and have developed horrible pains in my buttocks, legs, and feet, ankles. I am on Cipro 500mg. My Doctor isn't taking it too serious. He acts as if I have yeast infection. This is much more dangerous. I read there is a 50% mortality rate after taking antibiotics.
