Kleb pneumo is a bacteria. It is opportunistic and may be the cause of a bacterial infection. A bacterial culture would be sufficient to detect it and depending where it is, it may or may not be significant.

Can men catch klebsiella?

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.


What is the normal count of klebsiella in urine culture?

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.


Where is streptococcus pneumoniae found?

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a type of aerobic bacteria. It is found in the upper region of the pharynx, known as the nasopharynx. It usually does not cause any symptoms in healthy people, but can affect those with a compromised immune system.

What is the best treatment for a klebsiella infection?

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! 😄


What factors influence test results?

It depends on the test. The best thing to do if you are going in for lab tests for a medical condition is to ask your doctor if there are any special instructions that you should follow before going in for the test...and follow those instructions.

Why doesn't Suboxone show up as an opiate positive on drug test?

It takes a special drug test to detect suboxone/subutex. It won't show up on any regular drug test for a job or anything else. Just like steroids
