The frequency of Klebsiella infections in the urological wards dropped significantly after up-grading the treatment room, improving catheter storage and reducing ampicillin use. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment Klebsiellainfections can be dangerous, so doctors start treatment with antibiotics right away. Examples include cephalosporins (cefotaxime and ceftriaxone) and carbapenems (imipenem or cilastatin). [webmd.com]

If a doctor notices that a bacterial infection persists after the initial treatment, they may order tests to identify the specific bacteria responsible. The results help them choose the most appropriate antibiotic treatment. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Therefore, the probability of antibiotic treatment of Klebsiella infections is weak (12). 2. [genecelltissue.com]

When doctors identify K. pneumoniae in samples quickly and prescribe the appropriate antibiotics right away, the prognosis improves. However, delays in diagnosis and testing are common, and this can lead to a less favorable prognosis. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Prognosis The prognosis of Klebsiella pneumonia is poor, especially in patients who are alcoholic, diabetic, have nosocomial infection or septicemia. Mortality from this type of pneumonia is above 50%. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
