I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a difficult infection to treat because of the organism's thick capsule. Klebsiella is best treated with third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins, quinolones, or carbapenems. Monotherapy is just as effective as a combination treatment in klebsiella pneumoniae because newer agents are used. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
