View allI've been having this issue where my urine culture shows Klebsiella Pneumoniae. I've done this test a couple of times over the past few months and it keeps popping up. I've tried antibiotics, but they haven't really helped. What medication should I consider to get better? I'm worried and just want to feel healthy again.
The persistent presence of Klebsiella Pneumoniae in your urine culture, despite previous antibiotic treatments, suggests a possible antibiotic-resistant strain or an underlying condition like a urinary tract obstruction, kidney stones, or a neurogenic bladder; consult your urologist or nephrologist to discuss further treatment options, which may include a urine sensitivity test to determine the effective antibiotic, alternative antibiotics like Amikacin, Gentamicin, or Fosfomycin, or procedures to address underlying conditions, and in the meantime, drink plenty of water, urinate when needed, and practice good hygiene.
